A while back, some friends of ours told us about a farm about 20 or so minutes away that's basically a retirement home for horses. Every Saturday, they let visitors come and feed carrots to the horses. We've been meaning to take the kids there for a long time, and we finally got around to it when Nathan came to visit. It was a lot of fun.
This sign is kind of funny. We tried, but they didn't like fingers. JK

This horse really wanted to be petted. Horses scare me, though, so we got no closer than this. It was very pretty. Emily sure enjoyed looking at the horses.
Josh apparently has a little of his mom's nervousness. Look how excited he was to feed this horse. Eyes closed and everything.
Josh was doing pretty well with feeding the horses whenever Nathan was there to help out.
I finally got up the courage and got close enough to help Emily feed a horse. That was a lot of fun! And we thought the fun was for the kids. :)
Josh got up the courage to feed the horse all by himself! Great job!
See, Daddy came too.
Josh got tired of feeding the horses and decided to feed himself instead. He ate the whole thing. When he got to the green part at the end, he even asked if he should eat the "yucky part." I told him he could. Then he looked at it, and decided, all on his own, that it might not be the best idea. Good decision. I'm so proud of him. :)
Nathan convinced me to try to pet this Clydesdale. It was scary, but I did it. What a breakthrough!Why am I scared of horses? One bit my ear when I was 5. I'd say, nearly 25 years later, I'm making great progress.
