Promise me you will always remember that you are stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you ever imagined.

Grandma's Ranch

We had to go to Grandma's place and help take care of some things. While we were there Aunt Kathie took Jake for a horse back ride along with the other cousins. Elena was able to ride a horse on her own which she loved, and Creed was kind enough to take Ellie with him on the ride. The kids all loved it.


Elena had a blast riding this horse all on her own, and she even wore her cowgirl clothes and real cowgirl boots.  She was all decked out.  The only thing missing was a cowboy hat! 
When I was Aunt Kathie come around the corner with Jake on the back of her horse it caught me off guard a bit cause she looked enough like mom that I had to quickly remind myself where we were and that it was NOT mom.  Kinda choked me up for a minute, and made me miss her quite a bit but also feel thankful that Aunt Kathie was willing to do this with a little boy who so desperately misses his grandma.
Aunt Kathie and Jake riding together.  Jake had taken some allergy medicine when we got there so he was able to ride without being affected terribly by the farm, or horses.
Creed and Ellie.  Ellie wanted so bad to ride a horse on her own, but I was afraid she would get hurt because of how small she is.  Glad Creed was willing to take her with him.
The group as they are headed off on some horseback riding adventure around the farm!
