Don't get too excited - that's the one of the only pictures of Gavin and a horse in this post. :) Let me explain...Jarrod asked me to look up horseback riding places for when his mom was here because he thought it would be something we could do for our anniversary. I called Dinner Bell Ranch and started to ask if they had anything on the property Jackie could do with Gavin while we were riding, and the man proceeded to tell me kids his age ride double all the time. So, we thought we'd give it a try. The whole time leading up to it I was pretty nervous about the whole situation, but didn't really know what to expect.
Once we got there, Jarrod started to get nervous, too. There were no helmets and the trail was up and down a "mountain." We started to put Gavin up with him on the horse and he wasn't having anything to do with it. Jackie was really looking forward to riding, so I told her to go ahead with Jarrod and Gavin and I stayed behind.
So, during Gavin's first horseback riding adventure, here's what we did...
Played with rocks. He loved picking them up, handing them to me, and throwing the big ones.
Look through the fence and saw pretty flowers. Mommy just loved taking pictures there.
Ran up and down a small hill.....Gavin thought this was the best thing ever!
Took a break for juice and a snack in the back of Mommy's car.
Chased one of the dogs that was on the property. Gavin kept yelling, "Beagle, come back!"
Then we finally spotted Daddy, Memaw, and the trail guide coming back! Gavin thought that was pretty neat to hear Daddy call him name. 
Memaw had Gavin laughing so hard on the ride home. It was good since it was quite a long drive home!
