Morgan's Birthday Party... and Pony Rides!

The girls were lucky enough to be invited to their friend Morgan's birthday party today. Morgan's older brother, Caleb, was in their Pre-K class last year, and the girls have missed them dearly over the summer!
Morgan had a pony themed birthday. It was adorable! The biggest surprise of the afternoon - real live ponies!! It was fantastic! The girls LOVED it. They were so into the horses. It actually amazed Kevin and I how they had no fear of them at all. They both walked right up and started petting them! Not only did they get to ride both horses multiple times, they also were able to feed the horses carrots! It was a wonderful afternoon and the girls have not stopped talking about it. Both of them want to go and play with the horses again - maybe riding lessons are in our future?

Caroline, Morgan, and Caleb and "Cowboy" the horse.

My view of Kathryn - oh and our little man!! :)

Caroline on her first of many rides! This horses name was Majestic.

So happy!

Kathryn's first ride on Majestic! She wanted Daddy to hold her hand!

Daddy walking with Kathryn and Majestic!

Kathryn decided she really didn't need Daddy to walk with her anymore!
So grown up!

Second ride.. okay maybe I still need Daddy...
(She decided she didn't but I love the look on her face here)

Caroline on Cowboy!

Both girls up in the saddle!

Caroline was SO BRAVE!! She was one of the only kids who wanted to try trotting on Cowboy! She was in her glory! She had so much fun.

Petting Cowboy!

Caroline and the birthday girl, Morgan!
