Ride 'Em Cowboy

On our last full day in Halifax, we got the chance to fulfill one of Oliver's big dreams for the vacation week. He finally got his shot at an inaugural pony ride. It was promised to him many times over so we were thrilled to grant his big wish. He loved meeting his horse, Tony the Pony, and has been repeating the little equine's name ever since. You could not wipe the smile off his face, and Olan and Isabelle were equally as thrilled with getting back in the saddle too! What an awesome time we all spent at Hatfield Farms, visiting animals, riding horses and capping the visit off with every little one's favourite treat, ice cream! We can think of no better way to spend a sun-soaked day in the Maritimes, except maybe to be out on the boat, but given the choice we're sorry, Grandpa, Oliver will take the horse. Isabelle, on the other hand, would have her thumbs up saying "Hit it!"

Happiest cowboy ever


Cuties meet up with a turkey


Hand in hand with Grandpa


Mer's pet goat


They're at the post...they're off!


Little Miss Sunshine saddles up


And down the stretch she comes!


A popular spot for cousins in need


A well-deserved treat after all that riding
