Daddy, let your baby grow up to be cowgirls...

Being on vacation & it being a beautiful time of year, my dad asked me if I wanted to go horse back riding with him.  Now, my love for dogs is comparable to his love for horses.  He's always been a cowboy & he knows his stuff about horses.... me, I'm just along for the ride... but he's given me some horse knowledge through my life, and with a good ole horse, some basics on "steering", how to make them stop & I'm ready to go!  Here are some pictures of the day...It was just a perfect day...

The leaves were amazingly beautiful!!!


We came to a clearing & there was a playground.  When the kids saw us, it was like the world stopped.  Next thing we knew, kids were coming over to see the horses.  Dad & his horse are just too good around kids.  And dad was prepared - he had peppermint for the little ones to feed the horses!  This was so fun to watch!


Here I am... tell me the color isnt breath taking!


me & my daddy!! .....


Me & my "brother"... my dad's 3rd child!  Such a good horse!

I told dad I'm ready to go again when I get the chance... just a perfect day... but I'll be honest... I'm hurting in places that NO ONE should be hurting in.... a little bit of pain for a little bit of fun!

    I love this post! Aren't we having a spectacular fall this year? I am in awe of the beauty God showers us with on a daily basis, if we'll only take the time to look.

    Glad to see you having such fun with your dad and your "brothers". Sounds like you've had a great vacation!

    What a wonderful day! Horses are better than anything to get the attention of kids.

    looks like you had a blast. And you were properly attired in your western shirt and cowboy hat :-) I loved riding horses when we would go out west on trail rides.
