Horse riding with Kaylee Menn

The kids have a favorite pasttime- horseback riding in Carthage with Kaylee Menn. She is probably 21 now, and the most awesome mentor for the kids to have! She is a champion barrel racer and runs the Saddle Club in Carthage, taking care of lots of horses, her own and others', and also training horses. She is the busiest young lady I know, also in college full time in the Pre-Vet program. I just love taking the kids there to ride, and play in the big barn there. It takes me back to my farm life growing up! Oh how I long for the country life again! Anyway, here are some pix of us having fun there last night.

Alli is very diligent in saving her money and going to ride "Mack". She is awesome up there on the huge animal! I hope she keeps it up!

This is usually how you find Cassi there at the barn~ she loves to keep the Pepsi man in business! She also loves to ride, but finds a lot of other "important" things to spend her money on!

Logan says he is now saving his $ for riding lessons too! He now has so many things he is saving for, I don't know which he'll remember to actually buy! But he looks like a natural, huh?

Of course missing from these pix is our own Kaylee, who led us all here to the barn for riding lessons 3 years ago! She is still a horse lover, especially Mack, and will be riding next week. Hopefully I'll remember my camera for that! She is an absolute pro! She could take after another with her awesome name if she sticks with this horse business!
