Can I be a cowboy...

We made the trip back down the bayou yesterday 
for an afternoon of horse back riding at Mr. Al's farm.

Yesterday morning I told Griff that we were going on a trip when I picked him up in the afternoon.
He was SO excited about the trip.
He told his teacher and another parent that he was leaving for a trip.
His teacher said,
"where are you going Griff?  Disney World?  The Beach?"
I replied... "Cut Off, LA!"

When I picked him up he was chatting up a storm about our trip.
He was telling Roman about what we needed to pack.
He planned to bring along a jacket and an umbrella just in case.  :)

Once home he started to pack a bag.
He threw in some diaper rash cream for Roman and a Power Ranger for himself.
I had to hold him back from packing his tooth brush and a drawer full of clothes.

It was really cute to see his excitement.

Once Kenton got home we revealed where we were heading.
He could not wait to get back to the farm.

Once we arrived they had several folks riding horses.
They asked if Griff would like to ride too.
The rest was history...

I love the smile on his face.
Griff giving Lilly some love.

After a little convincing Kenton got
Baby Bear into the saddle for a minute.

Griff went back out and rode with Mr. Al's grand daughter.
They rode for about 45 minutes.
It is always so much more fun to ride with a partner.

After they finished riding horses we toured
the property.
We also headed over to the pool for dinner and a swim.

We are so proud of Griff.
Not so long ago he would run when we tried to get him on a pony.
Today, he wants to be a cowboy.

Dream BIG my boy...

Mr. Al's Farm

Last weekend MiMi and Big Poppa took the boys down the bayou for the afternoon.
They made several stops along the way.
They visited with family, picked up an ice chest of shrimp, and made a visit to Mr. Al's Farm.

Mr. Al has been a family friend my entire life.
I have first memories of his family  all the way back to when I was a little girl.
He and Big Poppa still  enjoy spending time together.

Needless to say the boys had a ball.
Griff enjoyed the horses while  Roman loved the chickens.

Thankfully MiMi and Pop took pictures 
so I was able to see my little boys and the fun time that they had!

The boys were able to gather 2 fresh eggs.
They thought it was pretty cool.

Griff and Mr. Al.

Thanks to Mr. Al for letting my family enjoy your farm.
They had a ball!
MiMi said Griff tried to text Mr. Al on the way home to tell him how much fun he had...
