Airplane the Horse

Abigail's run as the newest member of our family was short-lived. Sorry sis! A friend of Greg's gave him this horse in exchange for some construction work. We've been wanting to get a kid-friendly horse for a long time, but hadn't yet found the right one for the right price. This little gal is as calm and gentle as a Spring morning (love that simile) and just what we were looking for.


Garrett has two great loves in his life right now: horses and airplanes. Garrett was sitting on the horse and we asked him what we should name his new horsey. His immediate answer, "Airplane." (Pretty sure he was referring to an airplane he heard in the sky, but the timing was perfect and it was hilarious.)


Here she is--Airplane the Horse!

I'll be honest--the mama bear in me was a nervous wreck to sit him up there alone, but Airplane and Garrett did just great together!


Garrett had a blast playing in the mud after his horse ride. These dirty pants earned him a one-way ticket out of my car and into dad's truck. He couldn't have been happier!

Wow! You are brave to invite such a big member into the family!! No doubt the boys will love "airplane"...and probably, eventually, the girls!! Abigail is so adorable! I'm glad all's going so well with your little sweetie!!

I think Airplane is a great name for the newest member of your family. Considering his obsessions lately- I would say that is a good name!
