Horses and Bubbles

For as long as we have lived here, my dad has wanted to take us to see the horses on the military base. It has never seemed to work out, but it finally did! Saturday, February 26th was the day!

We went to my parents house for a monthly brunch that they hold for some of the students. That day only 1 student showed up, so there was plenty of food for all of us :) After we ate and played we got in the car and headed to see the horses.

At first Reed was a bit hesitant and understandably so. Horses are big animals! But, he liked to talk to the horses and after a while, he reached out his hand and touched some of them. In the end, I think he really enjoyed the horses.

Eve cried at first, only because the horse bent down and she wasn't being held by anyone (she was in her stroller). But, as soon as we picked her up, she loved the horses. She even put her hand out to touch a few of them. So, the horses were a hit.

But the best part (I am guessing) came just after when we did bubbles with grandpa and daddy in a big field. It was pretty windy so the bubbles flew everywhere. Reed ran after them and just laughed. Eve got really excited to see all the bubbles! They could have stayed all day, if it wasn't so cold and windy!

Sadly, our time came to an end to quickly. We dropped grandpa off and headed home. It was a great day!

I barely missed her touching the horse. But, she did it!

Bubbles are a boy's best friend (along with sticks, rocks, trains, cars, etc....).

Reed was a great bubble chaser.
