Going to see the horses with the Meyers

On Thursday, I got invited to go join a Parelli class with my friends, Alison and Megan. Parelli is a natural way to train and discipline a horse. A lady named Linda, came and taught us. She demonstrated by using Megan as a horse. ;)  Here is an official website about Parelli.

Gambler runs to meet Alison in the field when he sees her.

Everybody loves Gambler!

Mrs. Meyer brings Dollar to the fence to tie him up.

Cowboy and Megan (with Dollar's mane!).

Megan loves Cowboy; Cowboy loves Megan!

Grooming them:

Alison put a hairband in Gambler's mane! He looked really cute.

This is a new Braid Knot I learned while I was there. I thought it was really cool!

Learning Parelli (I got to work with Gambler and Cowboy!).

The barn was really pretty!

After the class, Alison and I took a walk down to the pond. It was a really hot day!

Jingles thought it was weird that I was taking a picture of him from the ground....;)

Gambler was the same way!

On Friday, we all went down to the beach because it was 70 degrees! We all wore our swimsuits down there, because Mom knew we were all going to get wet and sandy. The river is really high and muddy right now because of the Spring snow melt.  It was really fun!

Bennett was digging a hole in the ground so that he could sit in it and bury himself in sand!

Bennett's finished project:

When we got home, Fiona was so tired, that she fell asleep while reading Good Night, Gorilla!

Our first White Bush Blossoms bloomed a couple of days ago on the bush right outside the boys' bedroom window.  We call it the "bee bush" bee-cause it attracts so many bees.  They are so pretty!
