There were crowns to decorate and we had sand bottle art and painted treasure chests too.  Mom found “jewels” to put inside our chests.

Happy birthday Autumn!  On Sunday we had family over for Autumn’s birthday.  She turned 4.  She chose a castle cake and pizza for lunch.  This was her cake before she added the flowers.

Later she and Grandma added the flowers to make it pretty.

This is the soft princess blanket from Doug.  Everyone had to feel it, and now she uses that instead of her Bronco blankie!

More teamwork!

Jackie made her a special apple pie.  It didn’t have a top crust since Autumn doesn’t really like crust.

Game time.

Today we went to Denver Equestrians and had a horse riding lesson.  Grandma gave that to use for a birthday present.  We got to learn about taking care of them, brushing them, taking care of their hooves, and how to put on the saddle.

First you have to put on your helmet.

Autumn took care of Bella.

I helped take care of Marley.  I found out that Marley had a twin sister named Georgia.

We were a pretend horse and learning how much the horse can move when they are hooked up.
