Horsing around....

Sequoia and Colleen took a short trip up to Maryland last week while I stayed home to work. While they were up there Sequoia got to go to the horse stables where Aunt Sherri keeps her horse, Chancellor along with Ryley's Pony, Buddy. Here she is with the Goliath, Chancellor.

And the more diminutive Buddy.

Feeding Buddy a carrot - that was good.

Shoving her hands into Buddy's nostrils - not so good.

Riding Buddy - started out good but went bad...very bad in Sequoia's opinion when they left the stable to try her out in the pasture. Between you and me, I think the upshot of that is that Sequoia will not be asking me to buy her a pony anytime soon. It will happen soon enough.

Our dear friends Becky and Larry were in town and gave Sequoia and Colleen a chance to squeeze in a visit with them. The visit was delightful even if the circumstances were unfortunate.

Larry's sister has 3 kids - the two boys are Sequoia's age.

The all had a ball playing together.

Sequoia particularly enjoyed the pool filled with balls.

She made it look so fun Larry had to try it out for himself.

One of Sequoia's favorite things to do is play with her cousins Ryley and Aiden. They are both really good with her and we are glad they are around to show Sequoia how to be a good big kid.

So nice that Colleen and Sequoia were able to visit with Beckie and Larry --- and cousins Ryley and Aiden.

It's always fun to be able to keep up with all that they find the time to do. So many people....so many friends and relatives to love and cherish "our kid."
