Picnic at the Asgard Equestrian club

Beautiful Sunday afternoon of soccer followed by a picnic.  Some of Kelly's co-workers had a picnic at an equestrian club not far from our home.  It was a really nice place (even for American standards) for the kids to run around and pet and feed animals in the petting area.  They had 3 big beautiful barns that housed some very large, gorgeous horses.  There were also a couple of riding and jumping arenas.  Ella decided immediately that she wanted to take riding lessons.  (Oh lord, help me now!)  Thank goodness the price was somewhere in the ballpark of ridiculous so I think I am off the hook for now.  Don't get me wrong, I want my children to experience anything and everything life has to offer BUT, I'm not sure my heart or pocketbook can handle the equestrian club!  I wonder if I can get her interested in knitting??  I think it may be safer and more cost effective.

Billy goat loving the carrots! 

This little guy is a good size for Ella!

What the hell???  It looks like a mountain lions head on a deers body, and what's up with the missing antler??  (scratching my head!)

This horse was hilarious.  He was getting mad at some boys and would shut his window when they came around.  He opened it back up to get some carrots from Ella.

This horse was massive!

This is that horse that opened and shut the window getting some loving from Ella.

Ella was not feeling the love from this horse.  This naughty little guy was kind of nippy!

These are some of Kelly's co-workers and their spouses.

These little boys were having a ball on the tire swing!
