Corey's Day on the Farm 2014 - Part 2

.
Continuation of the first part .......

So after lunch we decided to go and catch us some cows!!   Here is Nathan doing his best at ropin' (with help)

And then he got his button :)

Here is Kaedyn doing his best at ropin' (with help)

Daddy pinning on his ropin pin ...

Nathan was screwing around and then was like "OMG MY HANDS ARE DIRTY" ....  shakes my head....

During the ropin' we were trying to talk Kaedyn into getting on a horse and .....  managed to actually convince him (with a lot of bribing!) .....

 After he was done .... he goes "I liked it, it was fun!"  So I said... want to do it again?   He goes.... "NO."  Humph.....   I think someone is trying to make his Momma think she was right.....  just to shut her up.

Nathan's FOURTH Horsey ride of the day was on Sage with one of the Rodeo Princesses!

They stopped and gave Bailey a pet .....

Had ANOTHER Sno Cone.....

 Kaedyn really wanted to ride on the Green Tractor one ...    so I told him after we did the Horse Drawn carriage ...  The horse drawn one is always a long line and we were first in line which meant that the boys would be able to sit right up front with the guy who has the reins....

So here is the Horse Drawn Carriage .....

The boys got on and that little girl next to Nathan wouldn't get off.  We found out later that she was basically lost.....  and there were no parents, no teachers there to claim her... along with another little boy.   :/     So Nathan got to ride up front but not Kaedyn....

I didn't ride ....  but when they came back - they actually decided no more Hay/Tractor Rides - they were closing down ....  and so Kaedyn didn't get to ride on the John Deere one... but the silly horses were going around every which way in the street .... LOL.... Kaedyn got a turn to sit up front too....

Before leaving we had to stop and see Diablo.  We looooooooove Diablo.  Diablo is the Deputy Sheriff's horse.  He comes every year and lets kids sit on Diablo with him ...... The boys were petting Diablo while the Sheriff was talking to a few other folks.....

 And then the Deputy Sheriff said Nathan could sit on Diablo all by himself.  Wah!!!   WOW... what an honor :)

We stopped for ONE LAST (fifth of the day) horsey ride .....  this was on George :)

On our way out - we took a few more pictures....  we didn't get pictures to take home this year, ours got lost or something....  but that's okay.  Mommy takes a ton of pictures.....

On the way home, Kaedyn fell asleep almost right away ....

Surprisingly ... Nathan did not.....

Corey's Day on the Farm 2014 ~ Part 1

.
We look forward to this day all year.  This is up there with the major holidays with us!

Each year a family has been putting on a show for kids with medical issues ....  it's a year of equality for all those who fight hard and struggle all year long with their health, with learning disabilities, etc.  It's a chance for these kids to get out, and get access to fun - therapeutic - things ....like horse back riding, hay/tractor rides, horse drawn carriage, petting zoo, all sorts of things that can be done on a farm :)

This year .... we were all ready to go and Noah said he just wasn't feeling well enough to ...  which stinks because he was really looking forward to it :(

So it was Kaedyn & Nathan ....

They had an area this year to make tiles......

Nathan in his Corey's Day gear ....

First horse ride of the season was with Blu (or Blue...we'll go with Blu though) ....

Kaedyn waits for Nathan and watches - been trying to convince him to get on for three years now, one year he did but he cried the WHOLE TIME......

Sno Cones!!  Rainbow Sno Cones ......

First Tractor Ride  :)

Second Horse Ride of the year was with Twister

A little behind the scenes .......  He's floating on air!  LOL

Third horsey ride of the year with Zee ....

We stopped at the Petting Zoo before lunch ...

Then it was lunch time!

Why yes........ that is my son picking all the skin off his hot dog.......

There is a part two!!  :)
