This weekend, we had a wonderful opportunity to visit a friend at her home. Kim Gregg, one of the wonderful women I get to work with at Carolinas Hospital, owns several horses on her family property and had given us an open invitation. I decided to call her and we scheduled a visit. It was AWESOME!!!!!!! Little did I know, it would turn into a full afternoon of horses, riding Gator 4-wheelers, food and fun! Kim was a wonderful hostess, as well as her very kind and welcoming family.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the entire family and extended family as well. They all live in close proximity and get together most every weekend for "Sunday Funday". They're just those kind of wonderful people. Since I'm big and pregnant, Matt was kind enough to do the demonstration of riding a horse, to encourage Elijah a bit.

Matt rode off into the woods and since it seemed he would be gone for a bit, Kim's daughter (she has twin 15yr old girls) Carolyn, took us on a Gator ride. Elijah and I sat in the front seat together with Carolyn and we rode off for a fun tour of the trails. Elijah LOVED it. He even took some time to drive himself afterwards.

After awhile, Elijah agreed to get on a horse for a ride. See, Elijah has a stick horse, which actually used to by mine when I was a child. One of his favorite things to do is to ride the stick horse while carrying Daddy's phone listening to the Lone Ranger theme song. It's hilarious! Anyhow, we knew he would love to see a real horse and maybe even go for a big horse ride. He did!
The video is on Matt's phone, so I'll have to try to add it later, but Elijah really enjoyed his time with the horses and we greatly appreciate the entire Gregg Family for making us feel so welcome in their home and farm.
