Giddy-up

For Serenity the highlight of our Utah trip was getting to ride Liza (my sister-in-law, Shaunna's horse). Serenity talked about it everyday and even came up with a plan to fit Liza in the car and keep her at our house. When we told her that wasn't going to happen she decided she'll just ask for her own horse for her birthday (good luck with that!).

Serenity was a little nervous; she held on super-tight and after she kept saying again and again, "me no fall off Liza" (I guess I shouldn't have told the kids about the time I fell off a horse until after their first ride).

Jared wanted to go faster, but decided it was too bumpy.

The kids fed Liza carrots and watermelon. Liza slobbered all over Serenity's hand.
