Like many girls her age, Maggie has discovered that the
horse is one of the most beautiful things that God
created.  So what a dream come true for Cousin Marilyn
to take us out to her friend's farm to ride horses!
First stop, a visit to the sheep.
Now a walk down to the pasture to get some horses.
Brushing the horses in the barn.
While minding his own busy Bobby decided to give
Canaan a kiss.  Irresistible boy...
Happy happy girl!!
And another happy rider.
I didn't know if Joy would be afraid of the horses or not.  But
no, she wanted her turn to ride too!  
Marlboro man.
Daddy making a new friend.
How many little girls get to do this?
Now time to play with the kitties.
Home for another awesome supper!
Skyping with Cousin Jessica in Thailand.
Playing in the backyard with Cousin Marilyn.
Time to say good-bye.  The time was too short.
Heading back by way of Niagara Falls, where some good
friends drove up from Syracuse to meet us for lunch!
Isaac with Ben.
Fun and making memories with friends.
My good friend, Regina and me.
And another 12 hour drive home.  My husband is an
ama-za-zing driver.  I don't know how he does it.  He just
keeps going and going and going.  I guess it's a gift!  
Even with three other drivers in the van, he drove every
bit of the trip himself.


And that is the end of our Adventure into the Great White
North.   We want to again thank my sister and
brother-in-law who made this possible.  They spoiled us
and allowed us to enjoy so many things that we could
never have done otherwise.  They even took us out to
the Swiss Chalet restaurant!  My kids were trying to
remember the last time they went to a sit down
restaurant.  They couldn't.   This whole Adventure was a
gift, and we are so thankful.
