the horse

Michael knows a girl who knows a guy who fixes cars for cheap. On Sunday we took a little road trip to the other side of town to get some work done. The girl he knows owns a horse so while they were working on the car we rode over to the barn to check it out. I wasn't sure how Addison would react to being up close and personal with a horse, but she loved it. As we walked through the barn the horses were neighing (is that a word?) and Addison was amazed by the sound. Morgan and I stopped to look at this guy. She FREAKED! Her little body was shaking in fear and she started wailing. And we were still 3 feet away from it. It was both sad and really cute at the same time. Lori brought her horse out so Addison could pet her. She was a little intimated by the size of it, but once we showed her that it was harmless she was excited to pet her.

Towards the end I was able to get Morgan closer without her freaking out. I think she may have even touched the horse. And Addison thought it was the best thing ever.

(Warning: you may need your sunglasses when looking at my legs.)
Next up - lessons! I'm kidding. But a trip to the zoo is coming soon.
