Nathaniel's First Pony Ride

This was a very special day!  We attended the Bethany Christian Services Family Fun Day and had an absolutely wonderful time! It was an opportunity to meet other adoption families, to relax and to spend the day playing with our children.  The event was located on a beautiful horse ranch outside in the country surrounded by almond trees. And the very best part was, the people who owned the ranch were so generous that they gave free pony rides to all of the children!!

Here you are on your very first pony!!

You told us that you felt a little bit nervous at first, but after you got used to it you had lots of fun!  You wanted to keep going around and around and by the end of the day you were an old-pro at riding!  : )

Ride 'em, Cowboy!

Here we are enjoying an ice-cold snow cone together!

And here you are playing on the swing!

It was such a beautiful day!  The sun was shining, there was a nice breeze in air, and all of the children were so happy to be playing together. It was our first Bethany Christian Services picnic and we plan on attending many more to come!  What a nice way to celebrate your birth, you, and the miracle of our family and your adoption!  Happy Adoption day to you on August 16!!!!!!!

All of our love to you always and forever, Mommy & Daddy
