Lake Weekend

We headed back to the lake last weekend because Brady and Dave were in town for a wedding. Brady finished up her internship in New York and they were in the process of moving to Vermont where Brady has taken a job as an equine vet with a clinic there. We wanted to make sure to see them since we aren't sure when we will be able to make it to Vermont! We had a great weekend with them!

Day 2 on Patience!

We spent the weekend in New York visiting Brady and Dave last weekend. It was Ella's second time on an airplane, but the first time that she can remember. The very first time we flew to Scotoland but she was only 4-1/2 months old. Ella loved the plane rides and we had a great time visiting with Brady and Dave and seeing a little bit of the area. Ella decided that she wanted to ride Aunt Brady's horse, Patience. We didn't really think she would do it as Patience is a very large draft horse (over 6' tall at the shoulders!). Ella surprised us all by getting on Patience with Brady, walking around, and she actually cried when she had to get off! Maybe she is going to follow in her Aunt's footsteps and become an Equine Vet! If not, mom and dad have warned me from experience that this is a very expensive hobby for Ella to get interested in!!
