Birthday Date with Chase

With 3 kids, all on different schedules our days are busy and any one on one time with any of the kids is hard to come by, so on their birthday I started a little birthday date tradition and its something that all of us look forward too.

This year Chase decided he wanted he and I to go horseback riding. I was so excited he chose to do this as I used to ride and I miss it and love that he is wanting to learn. We dropped Asher at school and made our way over to Sheeder Mill Farms where they had our horses ready for us. We did a 30 min trail ride through the woods just Chase and I (and our guide). It was wonderful!! The guide gave Chase some pointers on how to sit in the saddle etc and he thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
Once we got back to the farm we watched his pony, Precious, get her bath. Within 5 minutes he was asking when he can go again and expressed how he would like to learn to rode on his own and go faster. I think lessons are in his future.

We still had a little time until we had to pick up Asher so we stopped by for a quick stop at Rita's water ice.

Once we were all back home we ended Chase's celebration by a dip in the pool and dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.

It was such a special day, one I will certainly never forget and I hope Chase doesn't either.
