An Indian Princess & Her Pony...


We joined The Jolly Ranchers 4-H club this weekend in some Halloween fun and festivities! It was so nice to catch up with old friends and also see some new faces! Randi and Bo teamed up for some games on horse back, starting with the egg and spoon competition....they did great!


....and we were pleasantly surprised at her combined win with Sadie on board Fancy as her partner in the ribbon race.



...in spite of a slight traffic jam as they changed directions....



Then it was time for some horseless fun....which equals LOTS of running....but well worth it for the candy prizes in the end!




We brought some face paint along and shared with the group....here's my little warrior getting her face paint on for the costume competition...



...and here she is making sure Levi has his on too....



Scary spider!!!! I know he's trying hard, but I'm not sure it's possible for such a cute kid to ever really be that scary.....



You can catch a peek at the feast that our gracious host, Mrs. Kane, prepared for us....her chili is to DIE for!



CJ and Sophie had a great time too....they really got into the jumper course!




...and I couldn't keep them away from the horses....




They haven't spent much time around the horses to date....hard to keep them contained and out of harms way on my own....what I learned here today is their favorite place to be is on a horse tho....




...go ahead....TRY to take him off....see what happens....don't say I didn't warn you! Sophie was the same way...not sure why I didn't capture her 'first ride' on film.....but the way she was acting, there will be many more opportunities for that!


Great day...great friends...thank you Jolly Ranchers!
