Reading Rye Bird

We Are Learning To Read:

The video of the entire book read thru is 12 minutes long because that is how long it takes us right now to read the entire first Bob Book... we must do a lot of discussing and sounding out and also 'television narration'.  

This past week, Rye watched an art/drawing program on t.v. so thru the entire book, she was looking at herself on camera and narrating the process as if there were viewers, and also as if she were instructing an art program about horses and the moon (because there is a moon in the beginning of the book and instructions on illustrating 'the man in the moon' were featured on the art program...and because she LOVES horses right now)

Horsing Around

Rye is all about HORSES these days. Therefore, WE are all about horses these days.

 From stick ponies:

On our way back home from a Sunday drive to Savannah, we stopped by Bass Pro Shop.

She also got a lasso:

And carousel rides:

Chandler shilled out the money for baby sister to take a whirl around the mall carousel before we headed back home. 

Hey, Ya'll!

 To galloping and leaping around the house, pretending to be a horse: 

Then finally, FINALLY meeting (&riding) a REAL horse:

Stay-N-Country Ranch has a LOT of horses and other animals too.

Fisher took his turn first: 

Riding like a natural Kentuckian:

Waiting patiently in the Peanut Gallery:

Fisher holds the harness while Rye gets geared up

Moment Of Truth:

"Riley are you ready for your turn?"

'YES! I'm ready to JUMP FENCES?'

GiddyUp & Away We Go!

 Learning to command the horse and identify parts with Mrs. Missy: 

Learning to care for horses is an important part of riding them. 

 Hoof Care is essential, too: 

Sage is a gentle saint

Sage loves peppermint and Rye shows no fear in offering her one:
