Gretchen's "mini me's"

For the last couple of years for all the girl's birthday's, Aunt Gretchen takes them out shopping for their gift. It usually is Michael's or Joann's for a fun craft project. They LOVE doing this! Just riding in Aunt Gretch's car is fun (not sure why since there is dog hair and barn mud everywhere but that must be the charm). Saturday was THE day and my were they excited. Not only were they going to shop but they were also going to Bob "Ebans" (Erin's choice obviously) and to the barn. They love to go to the barn and ride but this time there was a treat, a new pony named Bubbles.
Barn fun includes raking hay, feeding horses, grooming horses, and general horse maintenance. All of which they eagerly do. Then the fun starts and everyone gets to ride. Bubbles is very cute and just the right size for the girls. Erin was especially excited because she could reach the top of Bubbles while brushing him.
They came tired and happy filled with stories and lots of craft goodies they worked on all night. Throw in the new Tinkerbell movie and a sleepover with mom and they had a fabulous girl weekend.
Thank you Aunt Gretch for a special day!
