Today was a much slower day than yesterday. We realized we had been running Davin ragged in the past couple of weeks, so today we took it easy for the day. We all slept in and had a nice breakfast in the late morning. I like having the time to do that. After we got all cleaned up, we decided to head down to the pool for a little while. Bethany and Lexi were already down when Davin and I arrived. Davin had a great time swimming with the girls.
Bethany and Lexi and Aunt Sharon and Chelsea had made an appointment to go horseback riding at 2 pm. While they were gone, we just lounged around and enjoyed playing Phase 10 with Grandmom and Leah (another one of my nieces who is here, but I forgot to mention.) We had a nice time munching and playing the card game.
Bethany and Lexi got back to report to us how horseback riding went. The look on Lexi's face really said it all. Lexi is not a fan of horses or horseback riding. This was her first experience doing that and I think it may be her last. It sounded like an hour and a half of torture. I could not help but remember a similar horseback riding experience that I had in Aruba. This was two and a half hours of terror. Just pure terror. Much to Lexi's credit, she did not cry while on her horseback ride. During my ride, I was sobbing within two minutes of leaving. I definitely knew I would not be going with them today:-)
Tonight we will let Davin get a little bit of extra sleep, so we can do something fun tomorrow. What will it be?

I can understand horseback riding being sheer terror, although I also think I could learn to enjoy it... maybe. Well, maybe I could have if I had started out much earlier. I don't plan to take it up now. A golf cart sounds more my speed.
I have never been to Myrtle Beach. Not sure if I'll ever get there but it sounds like fun.
I think it sounds like fun, but then the last time I rode a horse, I was four.
This made me laugh very, very hard. Just thinking about it makes me cringe though lol love, lexi
