I have been spying on Boy...

My young appaloosa Boy is quite playful...so I have been spying on him in the paddock that is our horsey playground...he played with the pedestal...He can now put two feet on it...and will soon be able to put all four feet on it...

And he pushed the big green ball around a bit...

And he walked through the tunnel I constructed....Chief gave it a bit of a look and then left...Boy walked on through...such a confident fun horse...

Chief puts up a lot from our young rascal Boy! Boy will follow him around and nip at his hocks or neck to entice him to play!

The two ponies are on equine weight watchers...and that is about it....Lissy

our trip to the zoo...

We went to the Perth zoo...with mum and our good friends the Albans...

The wagon was a great idea for Morganne and we all took turns pulling it!

The girls had some great close encounters!

We actually managed to see all of the zoo...a lovely day out...Lissy

Dad loved his grand kids and would take them for rides in his old truck or cars or tractors...

 
We are off to the zoo today...Dad loved animals and would have loved taking the kids to the zoo...

I miss him and think of him everyday...Lissy

recent happenings...

Nothing terribly exciting happening around here but Ben is waiting for an update!
I keep finding Morganne giving her dolls baths...

Evangeline has been playing out in the paddock with Bella...and having a few rides...

And the girls set up a little colouring station between the barrels!

Evangeline over did it on the monkey bars at school one lunchtime and got big blisters...they didn't photograph well but they were huge!

A bit of Sunday morning TV...

And Evangeline made breakfast...

The girls have been painting...


Evangeline went to a roller skating party ...she is very good at the limbo!

We have been for a couple of plays at the new park near us...it is great...
The horses snoozing heaps in the warmer and dryer weather...it wa 27C on Sunday! Boy actually closed his eyes and they laid down!

I took Boy on his first outing...we went to the first rally of the new Hills Natural Horsemanship Club...it was fabulous...he was very excited but we still had a successful day. Loadimh him on the float to come home took a while as he was so excited by every thing and a few crazy horse loaders next to us...with the help of a very clever lady Debbie he went on calmly.


When we got home the four of them had a little hoon to celebrate his return!
And the girls played horses in the float!

And waiting waiting waiting for a tooth to fall out!

And that is it from here..Lissy

our weekend...

A quiet weekend at home...Friday we rescued the stray cat from school...looking for his owners but otherwise will keep him...

Ben left for work at 5 am Saturday...
Mum has been staying and playing games and doing jigsaws with the girls...

And as usual a bit of muddy play!

I am still trying to get clothes clean! And that is it...Lissy
