Last Saturday April 1st

Last Saturday was a pretty busy for Ewan.

We started off with the first day of swimming lessons at the community center in Mission. He was with a group of kids his age and they were learning the basics about water and getting comfortable with the water. He is really funny to watch in a group setting - to see how he interacts with the other kids and makes friend instantly. He actually listens to the teacher and followers her instructions.

Next we went home and got Eliot and then picked up grandpa and headed over to the stables at Shawnee Mission Park. My dad has a girl in one of his classes who has an old horse that she rides and invited Ewan to come out for a ride.


He had such a good time and couldn't wipe the smile off his face. He's had a lot of practice with the free motorized horse ride machine at our local Hy-Vee. It was a beautiful day, too.

Riding horses was so fun at that age. Something to look forward to.

I think his expression says it all! You could have started a lifelong passion - who knows? That's a great photo!

Horse riding is fun! I'm not very good at it, but a lot of my family members are. I am told that in her day my Grandma could swim like a fish and ride like the wind!
