We took a trip up to Portland after the girls' birthday. Chris did his man thing and the girls and I went to the zoo and then shopping. :-) It was a beautiful sunny day and we couldn't resist a little picnic in the park.
Ava was resting after a long day with some cucumbers on her eyes. Hahahaha
Ashland was filled with smoke for weeks on end due to all the wildfires surrounding us. We tried to find indoor activities and ended up at this pottery painting shop. We made this plate together as a family! Each person contributed an idea to make the plate complete. We love it!
Dakota and Lucy
Ava and Lilly
Maddie and Red
Lucy and Ava were having their own little tea party on the back porch. Well.... now that I think about it I do believe they were pretending to be cats, hehehe.
1st day of school for these beauties! 6th grade for Lucy and Ava and 10th grade for Maddie!
Ava got a new horse! Meet Truman! Truman is a big (16.1 hands) love bug and he will be perfect for Ava. Lilly was bit stubborn, and we decided that Lilly would be a better match for Maddie, especially since Red didn't really fit into the picture as a kid friendly horse. :-)
Just a beautiful day!
The girls went on a little trail ride!
Truman in trouble! I went to take the girls to school and we found Truman on a neighbors property stuck in the blackberry bushes. We later discovered that the other horses pushed him through a barbed wire fence. He was fairly cut up and had a huge gash on his leg. 30 days later and I'm still working on fixing up his wound. Poor Truman!
Maddie and I went on a trail ride at Emigrant Lake while the twins went to a play with Poppa. :-)
Lucy bought new tack for Dakota! Doesn't he look handsome?
