For the past week Grandma Lola has been telling Brynn that she had an early birthday present for her. "Ooooooooh," was all Brynn would reply. Really, who doesn't like early birthday presents? Brynn literally counted down the days.
Friday night we drove Brynn to Syracuse to meet her cousin Haley and Grandma and Grandpa Buhrley. For her birthday this year Brynn got horseback riding lessons! Boy, was she excited.
They both thought they were pretty cool. It was at a great place. Jay Fowler and his wife Marilyn have a huge stable and indoor riding area behind their house. You can tell Jay just loves it.
They were first taught how to give the horses directions and then they rode around until they felt comfortable.
After they felt comfortable on the horses, Jay had them try things at a quicker pace. Hailey really caught on quickly. Brynn took a little while. When she would get going she'd pull her hands back (pulling back on the reigns in the process) and slow down immediately so it was stop and go, stop and go............you get the picture. She eventually caught on and really liked it, too.
They had the two sweetest horses. Here they are, Barbie and Smoke
Caitlyn made a great cheerleader
Jay Fowler and his two best students. What a fun birthday present. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

I am so glad you found me!! It is so much fun to get to know your kids through your blog! You have a beautiful family, and YES, it does blow me away that WE could actually have kids old enough to be in High School! Couldn't we still pass for High School students!?!!:)Jolyn
