Girl Scout Rodeo

Last weekend we went to a little party that the Girl Scouts here had. It was a birthday party for Juliette Gordon Low who founded the Girl Scouts almost 100 years ago. We went to a restaurant just off base called the Crazy Horse Saloon. It was like a country western restaurant with Turkish food-ha! They played American country music, had some old playground equipment and even had horses and stables. After the girls ate and learned some things about Juliette Gordon Low, they all got to go and ride a horse. They all had a blast! I didn't get too many photos of Ruby and Lilly because they were all over the place. In one place one second and you turn around and they were gone. I'd say they were bouncing of the walls but we were outside so there weren't any walls :)



Sadie was so excited to ride the horses. I have never ever seen her this excited/nervous/anxious about anything. She didn't even look like our normal Sadie-Mae. She is usually really skiddish and shy when it comes to things like this. She loves the idea of something but when it comes down to actually doing it she would rather just watch everyone else and not go near the animal. She was just so excited and it showed all over her face. And when she actually rode the horse, she just had such a peaceful, contentedness look on her face. Like it just came so natural to her. She was just so happy.

All the girls had so much fun. It was really a nice afternoon. Now the girls are just trying to convince Daddy to get them some horses to keep :)
