Family Pony Ride

For Labor Day, we went on a family pony ride. Sam insisted on wearing his helmet...hey, we weren't going to discourage him. The boys are both big now and Sam is in a booster chair and Jared in a forward-facing carseat. He still looks so little! =)

I started off riding with Sam but apparently, I was cramping his style! We had lots of fun and both boys loved it!!
