Last weekend James and I took the kids on a mini vacation to see my brother and his family. Arek recently moved to a new base about an hour South of Tucson, Arizona called Ft. Huachuca. It's great having them so close by as before we never saw them because they lived across the nation, where now it's only an 8 hour drive. We ended up leaving about 4 am so everyone could sleep majority of the drive and the kids did great.
Our trip ended up being about 4 days long. The 1st day we just hung out and enjoyed each others company. Shelby taught Brock and James how to play Band Hero on their play station and it was hilarious watching everyone play. Brock loved the drums and James loved the guitar.
The second day we were there was the day Alyvia and Brock rode on their first horse. Alyvia has always loved horses and whenever we have errands to do we always pass this house by our area that has horses and she goes crazy. When we got to the horse stables the kids were elated to see a donkey just hanging out where we were supposed to wait. Brock and Alyvia wanted to just run up to it but I had to explain a few times how we had to use our inside voices or they could scare him away. Those two were in awe over that animal. Finally the horse came out ready and Kenzie rode first so the kids could see how it was done. My niece is the cutest thing ever and just like Aly she absolutely loves horses. When it was Alyvia's turn Arek helped her into the saddle and her smile was absolutely priceless. I think Aly was born to ride a horse. I walked the horse around a little ways all the while Alyvia is just hanging onto the horn and enjoying the ride. She was not to happy at having to get off so her brother could ride. Brock rode the horse for a few minutes also but he really wasn't all that into like Aly. Both the girls rode for a second time while the boys fed the donkey some hay.
