Horsies...real and fake

What is it with kids and horses? Do all kids love them? Personally, they freak me out! I've had a couple scary experiences with horses and I don't care to get close to them! They are just so big and powerful! They could do a lot of damage in just a split second, with no warning at all!

(nice rear shot of the horse, huh? That umbrella shot might have been frame-worthy if that was the horse's head instead of his tail *lol*)

On Thursday we watched my cousin Anika play her last soccer game of the season (*woot* they WON!) and after it was over we walked across the field to see this horse. Jenalyn loves horses! I, on the other hand, was happy to watch him from the other side of the field! I was freaking out on the inside the whole time she was petting him! He easily could have been spooked and started kicking wildly! *shudder* they're just so big and massive! At least I wasn't paralyzed by fear so I could still snap some pictures :)

This is more my style:
Hooray for grocery store rodeos *lol* I don't know if you can see it, but that's not a genuine smile on Corbin's face. Can you see the nervousness behind it? Yeah, he didn't even last 8 seconds *lol*

I remember seeing these little rides in the store when I was little. I always begged my mom to let me ride one. I don't remember ever getting to. The kids were so good for me at the store today so I fished in the ol'purse for a couple of quarters! Best $.50 I spent all day...even if Corbin didn't finish his ride!

Cute, cute! I'm impressed you remember/or carry your camera with you! It's those little experience you made on a regular day that are the best to capture! I love the picture of that darling little nervous Corbin. Yee-haw for motorized animals.
