Where's the Rodeo

Last weekend Tyler & I went to visit my parents and Ryan for a while. When Phe and I are driving around with Tyler we always point out horses and cows in pastures and he gets all excited. Tyler did get to ride a horse with Philip in February but Tyler was so little that he wasn't aware of what the horse really was. My parents' neighbor has horses so we decided to go visit the horses. They had two chairs right along the fence line which is obviously where the horses get snacks or something b/c as we were walking around the horses wouldn't acknowledge us but as soon as we sat in those chairs they started trotting to us. Tyler didn't want anything to do with the 2 brown horses. The first brown horse stuck his entire neck and head through the fence and started sniffing us, like major sniffing, so Tyler got really still and nervous. The one black horse walked up and started grazing around us so I would pick some grass and feed it to the horse. Tyler got a kick out of that b/c the horse would expose his teeth while grabbing for the grass. The black horse also had a beard if that's what you would call it - it would tickle Tyler and he start smiling and giggling. Tyler finally got SUPER brave and reached out to pet the horses face. Tyler watched Ryan rub the horses down with amazement - his mouth was wide open and he said 'wo'. He was so excited !! We watched the horses graze for awhile and then it was time to run off into the yard again so off we went.

Cute little Tyler Man. I wonder how he'd do riding a horse now that he know what it is? I'm not sure how Kaiden would do. He'd probably be all talk and then get scared when it was time to ride.
