a local ranch , nature valley ranch, had a family fun night

and we decided we should go.

we were so glad we did!

there were horse rides, a bunny, some chicks, 3 really funny dogs,

some pony's, a llama, many silly goats, 2 cows and a lake to throw rocks in.

we went on a hay ride and

 kale wanted to "drive" the tractor the whole time we were there.

all 3 kids rode the horses several times.  

olivia wasn't scared at all.  rode the horse all by herself.

mallory needed some help the first time and then got better and better.

kale didn't really want help but brett walked with him because he needed to be steadied.

olivia and kale are always comfortable around animals. 

kale almost too comfortable not knowing when to be scared.

mallory though, terrified of most animals.

so for her to ride the horse and hold all the animals was AWESOME.

we were so proud of all the kids for being so brave

but especially mallory!
