Visit to Grandma and Grandpa T.

This was our last visit to G'ma and G'paw's house before the summer ended.  We went to Sage's before, but since I am not too great at remembering to take pictures, I didn't take any. But I did remember at Grandma's and Grandpa's.  Victoria and Mary came with us, to bring more joy to our visit. :)

Traditional Sharks tooth hunting with Grandma.  We've done this since I was little.  Very fun looking for sharks teeth in local creeks.

Victoria found a tooth!!! One of many.

A nearby playground to help get rid of excess energy.

Of course we had to go horseback riding.  

Maren was brave and rode on Giddeon the donkey.  Later she claimed that she likes donkeys better then horses.  He must have cast some kind of charm over her.

Cow girl Victoria!!! Victoria and Maren helped Grandma and me to train pony, donkey, and horse to ride better. They were awesome helps.

Everyone loves Chocolate.

Brenna riding Gideon.  Grandma said that he wouldn't do anything with out Maren or Victoria nearby.

My little cowboy.  Corby absolutely loves horses. Hooray, mission accomplished. :)

Mary leading around Chocolate. 

Cow girl Mary!!!

Conner claims he doesn't like horseback riding, but he won't pass up a ride either.  He is warming up little by little.  One day he'll at least like them better. :-/

My main helper in training Velvet not to run off.  We made lots of progress. 

Both Maren and Victoria were brave enough to ride Monty.  It was good for him.  He is all to often left out.  I would ride him more, but there is always so much going on whenever we get there, that there usually isn't much time, besides, grandma left his tack at home. :(

With all the activities we had during the day, we did a lot of night swimming.  The kids had a kick out of that. Different experience swimming at night.

We sure do love visiting family. Especially grandparents.  Can't wait till the next time.  The kids always beg for more visits.  Hope fully one day we'll have a more fun house for others to want to visit us more. ;)  Till then, and till we visit others again. Love you all!!!
