Animal Farm @ Thanksgiving Point

Last week we went to see the animals at Thanksgiving point with Janaca and Jordan and Brittney and Jackson!
We had a great time!! The kids are getting older and they are so fun to watch!Most of my pictures are of the back of Tyler because he was just way too fascinated with everything around him....even things not in the animal area, like this picture, he was pointing to the train that was passing (he loves trains)

Here are Tyler, Brittney and Jackson checking out the goats....they LOVED being fed

Tyler was also obsessed with Brittneys stroller, he pushed it for her the whole time :)

The horses......what can I say....we see horses all the time!!! Tyler points and makes the horsey sound everytime we see them. We have never seen them up close though. So when Tyler spotted them, oh man was he mesmerized!!! He RAN up to the gate to try to get close, little did he know, he was going to get a chance to ride one!

The BOYS

Tyler, Jackson, Jordan
remember their last pic all together...check it out here

Horse riding time!! Tyler knew the second the horses stopped that it was our turn to go ride.....

he ran in and "picked" his horse :)

Tyler and his horse

He was so excited!! I know this picture is a little blurry, but man those ponies are fast, I was holding Hailey in one arm and then trying to keep up with the horse and take a picture of my overly ecstatic son on his FIRST pony ride!!!
***the things a mother has to do, ha ha***

He was smiling and laughing and having a good ol time on that horse!

He did so good holding on too, none of us moms knew how the kids would do, but of course, they are more grown up then we give them credit for, they were pros and didnt need any help from us mommies!
(Jordan and Jackson in the background)

I dont think he could have been any happier than he was...

So thats why he gave this face when the horse stopped...

and then gave this face and held on to the saddle as hard as he could when I told him we were done...
Yeah it was a little rough prying them off the horses, but we distracted them with another animal, so a little fuss, but not that bad :)

We took them inside to check out some of the other activites they had for the kids

Tyler stood far away from the big cow, it was funny, he bent down and was like "whooooaaa" and then started pointing at his bum, lol, hes obsessed with bums too :)

It was a lot of fun! I love our outings, keep em coming!! Cya guys soon!
