on sunday, i took the kids and two stowaways, lorna and emma, to my aunt's house. this particular aunt has been an adopted mom for me. in fact she is my mom's sister so it is pretty appropriate... i do have two adopted moms... both aunts that took care of me while i was single and going to school. love them. actually, the interesting thing about the two is that they are both feisty aunts and my mom is the antithesis of feisty... she is a strong woman but she isn't feisty :)...
anyway, we get there and we talked a little bit and then she took us to go see the horses, dogs, steer and garden... asher was totally unafraid which was not remarkable to me , but to my aunt who had introduced children and animals before, found it to be really remarkable... asher just climbed right up on the horse's back and sat there just enjoying himself... i think it might not have frightened him because he was determined to be a cowboy just like woody... in fact, while he was sitting on top of the horse he said something like, "look! i am a cowboy! just like woody!"... the horse started moving around too much and asher had to come down because the horse didn't have a halter or a saddle... we then moved on to feed the steer and both asher and i were fascinated with the length and versatility of it's tongue... it just wrapped around the corn stalk asher was giving him and pulled it in... asher also got licked on the head... his facial expression was priceless... a mixture between shock, disgust and uncontrollable giggling... it was fun!
after feeding the steer we moved on to the dogs... there were three but aunt larita only let two of them out to play... one licked isaac and isaac started crying.... they both jumped on asher and asher loved it... he has had more time to adjust to dogs and animals thanks to grandma and grandpa skillicorn and uncle jimmy and aunt kristin :)
