The only thing Kinlee wanted to do for her birthday this year was ride a horse. So, me being the amazing mom that I am, I made that happen. A man that I work with has horses and was more than willing to have us come to his house so she could ride a horse. We helped get the horses saddled and brushed them and during this Kinlee started getting super nervous. By the time the horses were ready to go, Kinlee decided she really didn't want to ride the horses. Luckily Ray had gone with me and he and Dan were not letting her out of it. So, especially Dan made her get on the horse and led the horse around for her. The friend she took with her has horses and has ridden since she was little, so that was a little helpful. However, the minute Ray and Dan let go of the horse and she started having to ride it herself, things didn't got well. She pulled back too hard on the reins and the horse started backing up and she freaked out. Yes, there was crying and I think she only rode the horse for 15 minutes at the most.
Torey and Kinlee. This was before they got on the horse, so there was still some smiling.
Still smiling, but not for long.
I think this was pretty much the same picture as above, just a little closer.
The meltdown is starting slowly.
This was right before she decided she was done. She at least got to try it and I am pretty certain that she will not be asking to ride a horse ever again. After we were done we all went to lunch at Pizza Pie Cafe Kinlee's favorite place to eat. What a fun(?) day!!
