Flower child's birthday adventure...

My eldest granddaughter had her 9th birthday on June 17th. Her choice for a party was to go horseback riding with her Granny...me. So we mounted up and rode at a place called Heritage Hills. The trails were narrow through picturesque forest land. This for me was an extreme sport. My horse was a retired dressage named Bart. He responded to my every command. I rode as a kid but it has been years. It all came back to me. My daughter was so surprised at how well I did. I still can't stop smiling. Thank you dear Iris for believing Granny can do anything...Oh, what a day! Thanks to Anna for the photos and Emmy for the moral support and M for the adventure!
