Melvin and Junior

Meet Melvin.

Meet Junior.

I think these two horses are my kids' new best friends. A sister in our ward owns a horse, and invited us out for Family Home Evening to let the kids ride. Were the kids excited? Heck, yes they were!

Playing with the kitty while the horses got saddled.

And playing in the dirt!

Waiting . . .

And . . . it's time!

Kelsey didn't want to ride, but at least she petted Melvin!

Even Jon and I got to ride!

Thanks Gwen! We had a blast! And yes, now my kids all want for Christmas is a horse!
