Skulls
The girls went out for a ride again this morning.
The Goblin Child rode Rusty for me to get him exercised and I think she likes him best. Her friend rode Lady, who I know she likes best. They didn’t go as far as usual, not in distance. Instead they rode around the small pasture here at home. It’s a fun place to ride. They could play with the cows if they wanted. There are hills to go up and down. Lots of things that make a ride fun.
My daughter texted while they were out wanting to know if I could do a load of laundry when they got home. Interesting question, what sort of adventures had they gotten up to. Her friends mom got a picture of them, of horse ears, of the ride. Why don’t I ever get pictures!!!
Soon they rode back into the yard. Grinning ear to ear they each carried a cow skull. Decades of cattle lost here, buried up on the hill. Coyotes dig them up providing good pickings of interesting things for girls out exploring. They had managed to get them onto the horses with them and carried them all the way home. During which time, Rusty had crashed The Goblin Child’s knee into Lady as she relieved herself. Resulting in a large poop stain down my daughters jeans.
Now I see why I need to do a load of laundry 🤣
What a wonderful adventure. Exactly what I hope for when they head off together. Accomplishment, confidence, dirt. All the things children need to get out and experience.
