Harrogate has an awesome Labor Day celebration each year at the city park, so we decided last minute that we would go check it out! We hadn't planned on going but we decided just to go for a few minutes last night after dinner. We had the BEST time!!
The kids spotted the horses right off so we made our way over there to watch. After we watched the other children riding the horses, Owen decided he wanted to ride. So...we waited in line for a few minutes thinking there is NO WAY he will EVER put on the helmet, much less ride the horse!! Oh. my. goodness. HE RODE THE HORSE!!!!!!! He put the helmet on, and walked right up to the steps to get on the horse. We were so proud of him! He had an absolute blast!
Riding a horse for the first time.
He was so proud of himself!
Right before it was our turn to get on, they told us that Grace Ann could ride also if we walked beside her. Now, I was not a bit surprised that Grace Ann jumped right on there to ride! I was so proud of her also!! This girl would still be at Harrogate City Park riding the horse if we let her!
Grace Ann's first time riding a horse.
She was so excited!!
Most of the parents stood outside of the fence taking pictures...not me. I was the crazy parent running around jumping over horse poop trying to get pictures of both of my kids riding horses! This trip was so last minute, that our camera was dead, so I just had to take pictures with my phone.
