Horsey Halloween

We love Halloween around here and every year mom goes a little crazy with the costumes.  This year Carly wanted to be a Sassy Flapper Girl.

Super Cute!


Brianna wanted to be a Peacock.

Pretty bird.

I just can't get over how cute and grown  up they are.


The stable Bri rides for has a Halloween party every year and so now we get to incorporate a horse into the costumes.
This turned out pretty good.  She won the contest.

This pony loves his girl.


Flapper on the farm


Bri and her BFF.  She was a zebra and pained her horse like one too.

Carly even went for a ride.
It was a fun night.

More Horsey fun

Bri has done lots of riding as usual this summer.  Luckily her teacher is great about taking pictures of my girl.  They've done some trail rides at Dimple Dell.

I love this picture.  She looks so hardcore in her glasses, helmet and vest.

She's done a couple of horse shows.  Barrel Riding.

Poles

Judging

Ribbon race with Willow and Bill

Extreme horseman's challenge



I'm glad she has a hobby that she loves so much.

Hot air balloon festival

While Daddy and Bri were camping Mom and Carly got up early one morning and met some friends at the hotair balloon festival.

It was so cool to get up close to the balloons.

They were so colorful


We had lots of fun, even if we didn't get to go up in one.

Camping.... with horses

Before school so rudely interrupted our summer, Brianna and Jon went on a camping trip.  They went up Ogden Canyon with a bunch of horses and riders from Bri's stable.

She was in Heaven

Riding all day

and hanging out with friends.

The highlight was taking the horses down to Pine view reservoir.




She had so much fun living out her Black Stallion dreams.

Hey, it's a moose!

On our way back to camp we saw a moose just across the river.  It was really cool.


Then as we got closer to camp we saw another moose.

Back at camp we made tin foil dinners, Yum!

The next morning we stopped at the ferry

Then went on a hike

We played by the lake

We think we even saw bear skat on our hike back.

I love that I get to take my kids on these adventures.

We saw 2 more moose on the way back/

It was such a fun trip.  I love family vacations.
