I know that I've gone on and on about how much we love
Galloping Grace Youth Ranch, but well, I just can't help it. I really love that we get to be a part of such a great organization. I love what they are doing for my kids. I love that my kids are getting to experience something I wouldn't have ever been able to give them. (
Here's my post about our first time out there.) May is the opening month of the 2009 season. Lucky us, we got to be there today! I only had C and A with me today as B was feeling poorly this morning. Boy, did he miss out!
The kids were so incredibly excited to see Mr. Max, Miss Trish and Miss
Steph. Poor C was so excited he couldn't sit still for anything. It didn't take them long to feel comfortable on the horses again. Doesn't C look like a pro? The smile on his face was just priceless. The stress around our house lately has really been affecting him. He's been especially struggling in new situations. I wasn't sure how he would do today since it's been several months since he's been to the ranch. He did so well and he was so happy. That made me happy too.
Before we left the house this morning, A kept talking about how she was going to ride by herself today. Brad and I tried gently to prepare her that she might not be able to since it was their first day back after several months of not riding. No, only a few minutes with Trish and she was riding alongside her brother.
A quick high five between brother and sister. Such a great morning! We can't wait to go out again and bring along big brother too!

Everyone did so great today. I hope B is feeling better soon! Love that pic of A walking Cochise by herself:) And the one you sent me of L's muscles:)
I'm glad you had such a nice time. I wish I didn't miss out on all the fun--I'm going crazy over here organizing pictures preparing for slide show times five!
I'll try to catch you next visit.
Thanks for all your kind words. I'll pass them on.
