Halloween With Horses

Don and Alyssa invited us to attend Halloween With Horses with them this year and since we had never been we were thrilled. We got the kids dressed in their costumes and off we went. Cael was so excited about the horses and kept asking if Bapa was going to be there too. After we paid for our tickets we headed to the rides where the lines were short and the horses were plentiful. Cael rode a couple of times - once where I was allowed to walk the horse - and once being led by another rider. Alyssa asked if she could ride with Branoch and their initial response was no, but we were soon told that as long as we were all wearing helmets it would be fine. Aveyn was all smiles as she rode next to Cael, in front of me on the saddle with Daddy snapping pictures as quickly as he could. I am pretty sure the three of us would have been content to hang out with the horses the entire time, but there was so much to explore. We picked out a pumpkin for Cael to paint and then headed to the Trick or Treat barn where Cael and Aveyn accumulated WAAAY too much candy :)

Unfortunately, it was a bit of a chaotic morning and we left the house without a bottle, diapers, sippy cups, snacks - any of the items necessary for an outing such as this - which meant to we had to leave earlier than we would have liked. However, now we will know exactly what to pack for next year!!! Thank you Sylvester Family - we had a blast!!!
