my cowgirl

Jennifer loves horses, I mean the girl loves horses. She really is a cowgirl. I must admit I'm not sure where she gets it because there is no way I am even close to a cowgirl. She must get it from her dad, who I think deep down inside is a cowboy. Yesterday, after watching a movie about a horse, Jennifer was insistent that she see a horse. It was all she talked about all afternoon and as soon as Bill walked in the door it was the first thing she told him. "Dad, me and you are going to go to a farm and see a horse." Well Bill had to come up with something. Our friends who use to let Jennifer ride with them got rid of their horses. Then remembered Troy & Dara, they have horses. So he gave them a call and of course they said we could come over. Our intent was only to go look at the horses, however Jennifer was certain she needed to ride and so ride she did!
This horses, George, was seriously just her size. She is pretty darn cute on him!

 Mikayla kept signing horse and acted several times like she wanted to ride too but we tried twice to get her on with Jennifer and she wanted nothing to do with it. She loved just walking around exploring.
 George was good enough for a while but then Jennifer thought she needed to ride a bigger horse. The Jaeger's have several horses at their place and if we would have let her Jennifer would have ridden each and every one of them. She wanted to ride by herself, then she wanted to have Dara ride with her, she wanted to go faster and she spotted some things that looked like they should be used for jumping and she wanted to jump with the horse too! The girl had lots of ideas and plans.
 And Jennifer thought dad should ride as well. But by this time Rocket was a little tired and didn't want to go anymore. So dad and Mikayla just sat on the horse with Jennifer. Mikayla was not to sure about even just sitting on the horse, with her dad right there. It may take her a while before she is a cowgirl like her sister.
By the time we were done and getting ready to head home Jennifer was pretty sure she was going to stay with Troy & Dara. Fairly certain she would live there, if she could ride everyday! Thanks to the Jaeger's for letting us come ride their horses and loving on our girls, they both had a great time!
