We have been very lucky to have my sister, Amber living only 6 hours from us now, so she's been able to come visit us here in North Carolina more often. So, when she's visiting, we make sure we go out and explore somewhere.
This visit we decided to take a drive to see if we could get the kids on some ponies, since that's all they talk about. When we got to where we could take them on some ponies, we noticed there was more along the drive and came across the Carolina Raptor Center. We decided to stop there and take a look. It ended up being a pretty cool find. It was a nature walk while you looked a many different birds.
The kids loved seeing all the birds, but they couldn't stop talking about riding the ponies, so after exploring the birds for a while, we got back into the car and headed back to where the horses were. When we arrived it was cool, because there was some kind of horse competition, so all these littles girls were riding their horses around. The kids thought that was so cool, but nothing was cooler than when they saw their little pony trot over, so they could ride him.
Auntie took a turn on a horse so the girls weren't too scared about going on the pony. I think either way, the girls would have been fine, because they got on that pony without any questioning. The girls, including Auntie, loved there 3 laps of trotting around the circle.
It's always so nice having family here, and feel incredibly blessed that we are so close to our family being here in North Carolina. It's always fun to explore new things while they are here, but it's always a great time, when we're just relaxing at home and enjoying each others company.
