The Olsavsky Kids: Pony Rides!

Daddy had to work his last Crew game on Saturday, so mommy loaded Chase and I up and we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We were planning on having a picnic, but it was raining, so we just ate at their house. After we were done eating lunch, it stopped raining, so we got in the car and headed to Carriage Hill Farm. Grandpa had a big surprise for us- pony rides!

I wasn't too sure about it at first, but mommy said if I got on the pony I would look like a cowboy. That's all it took and I jumped right on. Mira, the pony, was really nice and she took me for a long walk around her ring. When it was time for me to get off, I handed my helmet over to Chase who jumped right on Mira and started saying 'Giddie Up' He had a lot of fun too. He didn't like hanging on too well, so mommy had to do the work for him. After the pony rides we got to see all of the other horses in the barn. We even saw their brand new horse Jesse.

After the pony rides, we all got back into the car and went across the street to the main farm. We saw chickens, sheep, more horses, a pig and cows. We even found a kitty cat that let us play with him.

After we saw all of the animals and Chase tried to climb in with the horses, we went to the little country store, where mommy let me get some candy. I picked out my favorite gummy fish and 2 pixie sticks to share with Grandpa. I also picked out some Tootsie Rolls for GG to give to her for her birthday.

On the way home from the farm we stopped at GG's to give her the Tootsie Rolls and her birthday present. She brought out her toys and I had fun playing with the cars and sitting at her little desk. Chase had fun rearranging the cat food.

Back at Grandma and Grandpa's the sun came out, so we played outside. Grandma even ordered pizza that we got to eat outside. While we were outside we found a frog (toad). Grandpa picked it up and I even got to hold it. It eventually jumped away and went under the bush. I guess he was trying to find his family.

Before we left Grandpa took us back to the field. Chase and I had fun running around and picking flowers for everyone. It must have worn us out because mommy said I was asleep before we hit the highway and Chase was shortly after.

When I woke up Sunday I told daddy all about the pony ride and frog. Later in the day, when I woke up from my nap, Grandma and Papa were there. They came to visit and help with the new patio. Mommy and daddy went shopping while we stayed with Grandma and Papa to play. When they got back we went outside to plant the new flowers they brought home and move the rest of the dirt and mulch. I took my shovel and wheelbarrow and helped as much as I could. Everyone said I was a big helper. Of course playing in mulch and dirt I got really dirty, so Grandma and Papa took us in for a bath. After our baths they had to go back home.
