Horse Riding and Fishing

Jase loves to go to my moms's house and ride her horses!!  He has been begging me last few times that we have been down there to go out and ride the horses, but there is always so much going on.  On Tuesday when we went down Keona was so wonderful and she saddled up Fancy for us so that the boys could ride.  I didn't think that I would be able to get Gage on the horse because he is sort of funny about things that move, but once I got him on there he didn't want to get off.

This is Dalton (on the horse), Keona (who is so wonderful and lead Fancy around, and Jase

Jase decided that he needed to join Gage and show him how it was done!!

FISHING!!!

So I finally got Shane talked into going fishing!!  It has only taken 11 years (including our dating years) to get him to GO, but we went today!!  I was so excited that I was finally able to get us there.  The boys were so excited, Jase has been talking for months about how he wanted to get a fishing pole and go fishing.  So this morning we get all packed up and head to Hagerman, and as soon as I open the door my allergies took hold.  I was bawling by the time that I got Gage out of the car, my eyes were watering so bad!!  I thought to myself, I won't let this bother me I have worked to hard to let a simple thing like allergies stop us now.  So we headed off down a trail trying to find the BEST spot!!

We finally found a place where we could set up shop.  We get our lines all out in the water, Gage falls in the water, now we sit and wait, and wait , and wait.  We didn't get a single bit :(  I was a little sad... 

So I decide that I would try a little bit futher down and as I am walking down the bank I see a SNAKE!! After that I was done. Call me a wuss, but I can't handle my kids wondering around with snakes. So we get ready to head back to the car, and what do you know there is another snake right there on the path. So maybe another day we will have more luck, and maybe find a spot that has a few less snakes. Next time I will remember to take the anti-histamines as well!! 
I am happy though at least we got to go fishing!!
