Horseback riding

With Emma in Joy School two mornings a week, Macie and I have been doing fun stuff together. Today we had Papa take Macie on her first horseback ride! She spent a little time getting used to being so close to the horses, with Emma's allergies we usually stay far away from them. While Mom & Dad got the saddles on, she tried to pet the chickens. She was not impressed when I tossed her up on the horse with Papa, she cried for me. So, we switched and I got to ride for a little. She spent maybe 15 minutes total on the horse, which was about perfect. She was ready to move on to feeding the chickens. (Notice the rolled-up jeans on Macie? I have to put her in a 4T!)Dad held a little feed in his hand, and Macie sat down and helped refill his hand faster than the chickens could eat. We had a great morning!
