Thumbs up!

Aren’t we all. What a week and weekend!

Literally!

Horseback riding lessons! And, we started on a high with sparkly boots and a pink unicorn helmet!

Meryl and Pistol:) Learning horse language and rein control while walking around the (thankfully) covered arena on a soggy rainy day.

Holmes met 34-year old Payday and learned how to groom him:) Was he an alien? Not a truck despite being a large being? Payday was quite possibly the most patient horse while Holmes sussed out the situation.

Meryl and Joy:)

A short moment sitting on a short pony:) Holmes got to ride standing still, thanks to the most patient instructor we’re thankful to have had for both days.

Seven years married and we made it out of the house by ourselves! We ate Californian cuisine so Californian we walked out healthier and happy about it. And, we closed the restaurant down…which would mean more if it wasn’t a weeknight:)

We headed to the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County in Santa Rosa and learned that it was full of air! This was such a fun exhibit where you put scarves through one end and pressurized air pushes them all throughout the tubes on the wall and then out at the ceiling, where they float gracefully down. Unless one gets stuck, by which we tried tirelessly to keep putting scarves into the tubes with never ending hope:)

While Holmes found his way everywhere throughout the museum, the trains captured alllll of his attention:)
