Saturday, October 17th, when we were done camping, we drove out to Nephi to a friend of Connie and Dell's and picked potato's at their farm. My kids have always said that they wanted to live on a farm, so as you can imagine, they were in heaven. They were really good helpers! They couldn't believe how many potato's there were! 
After the fields were picked.... we weren't the only ones picking them up, the friends asked if the kids would like to have a horse ride. Dallas has been begging to take horse back riding lessons for quite a while now, so you can imagine how excited he, and everyone else was! They were so fun to watch. I knew the big kids would love it but I didn't know how the little kids would react. But everyone, even Macie, Cohen, and Jordan did not want off when their ride was over. They cried when we eventually pulled them off. I was surprised! It was so fun! Now they want to live on a farm AND own a horse :)

Mikayla is a rodeo "star". She rides around the barrels. She is such a cute girl! After walking the kids on the horse 30 laps around their farm, she asked them if they would like to feed the horse. Everyone was intrigued, but only Jordan dared to actually try it. You have to admit, a horse has a pretty big mouth and can be a little intimidating!
A huge thank you to Mandi and Wade (and Mikayla) for letting my kids experience a little taste of the country!
