Animals in our yard

Another warm day and what else is there to do? When we get home from school, it's still light outside and still rather warm. So, again, we took advantage of it and stayed outside until dinner time. I was in the driveway playing hockey with Dad while Nathan explored the backyard.

His first stop was the wood pile. He liked playing at the wood pile because there were a ton of dry leaves in front of it. Nathan loved the crunching sound that they made under his feet. He would stomp on them and then laugh.

Next, he saw some movement across the lane. Well, the movement came from a new animal. There was a horse. This was our first real encounter with this horse. Nathan was very brave. He and Mom took a walk over to the fence to see what was going on. Nathan was very curious to see what the horse was all about. Our neighbor must have seen us out looking at our new friend. He brought us 2 halves of an apple to fee the horse. Mom fed the horse the first one and Nathan helped her with the second. That was a lot of fun. The horse ate right out of our palm.

Nathan was feeling adventurous because he got a little closer. All the while, that horse was sniffing at his back.

Holy cow! Nathan touched the horsey nose all by himself.

Mom was amazed!

Here horsey!

I decided to get in on the action too. I don't think the horse wanted to eat the dried leaves. All of the animals were looking for green grass to eat.

Pretty girl the sheep is still as shaggy as ever. She was loving the attention.

Nathan was busy doing his own thing. He was squealing at the goats, screaming at the sheep and running after the horse.

Dad got a rare picture of Nathan and I together.

After a while, it was time for us to go back to the driveway and finish our game of hockey.

I'm going to be a hockey star!

Check out our new wheels for Disney! Aren't they great?
