Sleigh Ride

A couple of weeks ago, we (along with my sister Lara) went to the twin cities for another family get together with my dad's family. It's become a tradition for us to get together after the holiday season since a lot of the cousins work retail or strange hours and can't get away until after the crazy holiday shopping is done. We've gone on sleigh rides in previous years and usually have supper and open little gifts after playing a gift exchange game. It's always a lot of fun. Last year, Josie was only 7 months old so we went on the sleigh ride without her. This year, we brought her with while hubby stayed behind with Audrey.

What was I thinking? An hour long sleigh ride for a one year old is not a good idea. It wasn't too bad temperature wise, unlike previous years, but the girl wouldn't leave her mittens or boots on. Between three of us, we managed to keep her semi dressed for at least half of the ride. 

I got a few less-than-adequate pictures but they are better than nothing!

She had some big eyes looking at the big horses

Hubby got to hang with Audrey, something he doesn't get to do very often!

After we got back to the house, Josie thought she'd attempt hanging out with the "big" kids. It was fun to see her try, but they were a little intimidating and she found her way back to us pretty quick.
