A wonderful Sunday afternoon

It was a great day today.  We went to mom's and had some great dinner (see mom?  I didn't call it lunch!) of brisket, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn.  It was awesome.  As we were having dessert (oreo dessert, yum) Arick and Michelle showed up.  I asked mom to go for a ride, and I headed out to get the boys.

We rode on the neighbor's place a bit, then on mom and dad's.  It was wonderful.  The wind was blowing everything around, so Buddy's ears were perked up quite a bit.  Everything is so exciting to him.  We let them stop to visit the colt down the street for a few minutes.  Buddy only had a few minutes of nonsense, but is doing better every time we ride.

When I was done, Arick rode Blue, and I gave Buddy a bath.  He loved it!  He even drank from the hose a bit.  He is getting so pretty, losing that dirty looking winter coat.  I kept him on the halter and let him graze in front of the barn while he dried off...I was hoping he wouldn't immediately roll in the dirt.  When he was dry, I brushed him off and turned him out.  After they ate and went out to graze, I walked out there with my camera.

I took too many shots of my baby, so I tried to edit most of them out.  As we headed home, the clouds started to build, and you can feel a change in the air this evening.  I hope we have some great storms overnight.  I'm also thankful that it held off until I got a ride in!  Tomorrow, it's back to the grind, but I can think about today all week!

*edit* I forgot to explain "the only good pic from our ride."  I had the camera settings all jacked up from taking pics inside, close range, dim light.  In the bright sun, they all came out like a polar bear in a snowstorm...DANGIT!
