Nana's Day Out With the Boys

Last Sunday I planned a day out with my

grandbabies and my daughter.

We were going to a friends house

to see her animals. Kim was very

nice to invite us up to play wiht

the animals.

This is my youngest grandson, Braden.

He is 1.5 yrs. old. We were in

my daughters van on the way up

so I snapped a pic of each one of

the boys. This is Braden's new smile.

And meet DJ. He is my middle grandson. He

is 3.5 yrs. old. He was in the very back

of the van and trying to see out the

front. I noticed when I uploaded the

pics that DJ had his hand out the

window!

Caleb, my oldest grandson. He is 11.5 yrs old.

He was not to happy at this point cause

Nana did not bring the ipod for him

to play with. But this look

changed soon enough.

This is one of the first sights we saw

when pulling in at Kim's house.

LOL...to cute. This is the female

Elvira. There is a male named

Zippy.

Braden took to the goats and my no

fear Braden took right out after them.

DJ took to the chicks....and one duck.

They were off to the side of the barn and

he could not get back there to them. These

guys knew they were safe!

But DJ also liked the horses. The guy in the

pic with DJ is Jeremy, Kim's son.

Caleb was taken by the horses. Which is very surprising

because until now, Caleb had a BIG fear of

horses. When he was about 4 one of my

niece's horse got out of the stall and

ran, neck break speed, right past Caleb.

Leaving a bad fear.

But today he wanted to get in the fence

and pet them. I think that it had a lot

to do with Jeremy being there. Male to male,

Caleb did not want to show fear.

After petting, he decides he wants to ride.

My mouth dropped open!

Jeremy and Caleb took the horse to the riding

pen and Caleb hopped on.

This look shows me that he was not

all that sure about the decision.

Whoops....this is what happens if you hand your camera

to your daughter.

Fast click of Nana and Braden.

After a while of being lead round the pen

on the horse Caleb and Jeremy ventured

out to the yard. Look at him up there,

leaning over and petting the horse,

FEAR all gone.

That is my daughter, Amber in the

pic with the boys.

Caught this cute pic when no one was

watching....cute Braden.

About 15 minutes of being lead

around Caleb asked what he had

to do if he was riding along to get

the horse to turn and walk. Kim

explained that to him and the next thing

I know Caleb is riding alone.

See that cute little smile.

He did not want to show it

to big but he was so proud

of himself.

Thanks Kim and Jeremy you have

no clue what you have done

for this boy.

Kim said that she teaches riding and if

I can filter in that 45 min. drive I am

going to let Caleb do that. I think

it will be good for his self esteem.

I love it.

Thanks for stopping in,

Pam
