Lauren is our crazy girl. If a thing involves jumping, flying, or swimming, she shows no fear. When it comes to animals, however, she's more timid. In the case of my in-laws' dog, she's downright terrified. Anyway, whenever we are at Jack's parents' house, the kids ride the horses. Jakin and Corban have been riding by themselves for a while and, given the fact that they only ride once or twice a year, are pretty good. It should be noted here that I know nothing about horses, so maybe they just look to me like they know what they are doing. Annie does well and looks so proud of herself when she rides. But Lauren has been a little bit shy. She still talks about how the horse tried to eat her foot. (It was a wet morning and she had grass clippings on her Crocs. The horse was going for the grass, but she will not be convinced of that.) On our recent trip, she finally rode without anyone else riding with her. After that first ride, she wasn't interested in taking turns with her siblings anymore. She wanted all of the turns. She was hooked!
Corban waits his turn. I've taken lots of pictures of they boys and Annie riding over the years, so I guess I just focused this years' pictures on Lauren.
