Sleigh Ride

Last week Tuesday we took the kids to the house of a couple in our church that invited us down for a sleigh ride. Stephen is related to them - great uncle and aunt actually. We thought it was ironic that we had relatives in the church :) They are great people and we are happy to have them in our church!

Here are pictures of our time with Uncle Birt and Aunt Arlyne:


All bundled up...


Aunt Arlyne had an extra snowsuit, which was great because we didn't have snow pants for Titus and were just going to layer/bundle him up. I think he stayed a little warmer this way!


Petting the horse (draft horse - she is huge!) before we go


Stephen and Titus


An attempt at getting a picture of me and Damaris...


Just a cool picture of Uncle Birt taking the horse around while Aunt Arlyne showed us their cabin.


Titus taking a turn at driving...


Their other horses




A super nice cat that they had - the kids loved her :)




She was following Titus around...it was very cute :)


"Driving" the tractor :)

We had a great time! I had never been on a sleigh ride...those of you that know me know that I am not one to do anything outside in the winter :) But I stayed warm and enjoyed myself, so maybe this is a turning point :) :)

Watch for my week 3 contentment post tomorrow!
