Mommy and Daddy were able to enjoy the annual Joker's Wild Poker ride sponsored by the Willamette Valley chapter of Oregon Equestrian Trails. (Miri wants to know who was getting "Poked" - ha!) The weather was not so cooperative -- it was a very muddy trail, so we took the short cut-offs where we could. It was our first ride since last fall, so we wanted to take things easy on the boys, too. And WOW, were they good boys! Jake took great care of Daddy, and Arby was the best he's ever been. What a great day, despite the weather.
Special thanks to our professional child care provider for the day, Haley. She made the day extra fun for Aleaha and Miri back at home.
Waiting at the first stop to pick our cards. There were quite a few horses lined up, so we hung back a bit. Makes for a nice break for the horses.
Note the muddy trail and the duster on my Marlboro Man (minus cigs, of course).
Back at the trailer. "Yup, we cheated death once again." (Something we only say after arriving back safely!)
Miri had a great day, and she was thoroughly tuckered out! She fell asleep on the couch before bedtime.
Aleaha's artwork: "This is a rider on a horse." Um, of course it is, honey.
