Are you getting tired of the Josie show yet? I know that we’ve been disproportionately showing her off here, but heck, she’s got a long way to go to catch up with all the pictures we have of Mad and Soph. And there’s that “I like you with the camera” thing too! Ok, back to the other girls…

We were all at a birthday party last weekend held at a “farm” (petting zoo with playsets). The kids hadn’t been back there since their preschool days so it was great fun for them to revisit all the animals.

Mad had never ridden the horses before, and decided she was brave enough this time to do so. This is the second time I’ve seen her with the horse love! Of course, then I was immediately distracted by her snowman socks she is wearing with her action sandals. Maybe they keep her feet cool or something!

She’s like a Chinese Dale Evans. Definitely needs a hat.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the farm, Josie decides to tame a tetherball. She has a minor obsession with balls, so for her to find a ball on a string was just…well, I could have watched for hours (or minutes, anyway) without jumping in to help!

“Hey! Where’d it go???”

It was like a fresh surprise every time when she found it coming back to her - and of course narrowly missing her head with each return! Silly rabbit.
