Boogie Boarding

We got the little guy a boogie board while in Maui.  He was so cute walking down to the beach with his tow rope attached to his ankle and carrying it under his arm. 

We walked down to the beach almost every morning and went swimming and boogie boarding.

Jared helping Chris catch a little wave

and he's off...

....and he's flipping...

...CRASH!

He was a little ticked off that he kept flipping over in the waves.

so mom went and gave it a try....just watch the sequence of the next 4 pix 

was he more scared of the wave, or mom being on it.

I finally talked him into going with me on a few waves

This was the next day....our last day in Maui

he decided to try it closer to shore

maybe I can try to just surf right here

he had more fun just running in the waves and playing

playing in the sand

Little guy had a great time just playing in the sand and the water.  He talked a lot about going out on his boogie board, but I think he got tired of falling off of it.  We still had a great time!

Haleakala Crater

May 19, 2012

On our last day on Maui we headed up to the summit of Haleakala.  It was quite the twisty turny drive, but you got some amazing views once you got to the top.

We had a great time in Maui!  Chris told me that he wants to move here when he gets older, so that he can go swimming and snorkeling whenever he wants to.  I told him that he would need to work for the airlines, or have a private plane to fly his mom out to see him if he moved out there.

More Babies

Yes, we have more baby horses now.  Magic is a daddy again....and again.

We named her Star

Carlin and I named her Nessie

Not so little anymore

Here's another update on the yearlings.....these pictures were taken in April.

I think they are still deciding if Jared's ok or not

Eddy....showing off the Roan he got from his Daddy

Wouldn't you know it...the only time I could them to all stop for a picture and not be all bunched up.  The Mare in the middle is their surrogate mom, she showed them the ropes when we separated them from their mommies.
