When the kids visit their grandparents in Virginia, they love to feed the horses next door carrots and apples. Marlene must have had ten pounds of carrots for our stay! The neighbors are generous with allowing all the children to visit the animals at the barn, too. You might remember the pigs. The grass was so high from all the rain in was hard to see the bare feet!
The fence where we took Christmas card pics last Thanksgiving.
Maura feeds the mini horse a carrot.
Not sure what Michael is communicating to the horses or they to him……

The next morning, saying good bye. Horses keeping cool in the shade of the woods.
and the much used but almost always successful running grandchildren shot.
They really respond to on your mark, get set, GO. Must be all that swim team practice and meets!
The four of them are making my summer vacation a lively one!
What incredibly great pictures of horses! Something about children and horses together does create an aura of simplicity and innocence. Why is it so I wonder?

They are all so precious Ruth!
Charming children and charming pictures
Great family photos, Ruth. To be able to visst Grandma & Grandpa, with Grandma, and see horses and a farm? Life doesn’t get much better for a kid, and it doesn’t get much better for Grandpa and the Grandmas, either. 🙂
Love that last picture Ruth, it’s great that the grand kids are dressed similarly!
Awwww. these shots are just priceless Ruth! Great captures hon and love seeing your beautiful grandkids with those beautiful horses. Thanks for sharing hon. 😀 *big hugs*
This is a beautiful series of photos of four beautiful children. XXOO
Ruth E, you are so lucky to be such a large part of their lives. And, they are lucky to have you a part of theirs.
Lovely, lovely grandies, Ruth. Beautiful pics of the horses too. That last photo would be a marvellous advertisement for the cleaning power of whatever washing powder their mother uses. 😀
Beautiful post, Ruth!!
Oh so very precious!!!
WONDERFUL CAPTURES!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
They are getting so big!
(The kids, not the horses.) 😉
Such fun and happy memories!!
It’s hard to say which one I like the best. The last one is perfect! the horses and ponies are beautiful Ruth. You are so talented. I remember the days of driving around with sugar cubes and carrots for the horses and bread for the ducks :>
I love these precious shots!
