On Saturday I showed up at the Erickson's home looking to find Samuel and Micaiah but instead I was greeted by 2 cowboys and their horses (and some robots too....but they really only participated for a short time! :) I was given horse roping lessons, finding and shooting a bear lessons and of course how to tie up your horse so it doesn't run away lessons. And their little sister, Gracie, even got to sit on a horse for a few seconds before she was booted off so the horse could go find the next mean man.
We had so much fun and I didn't realize how fast time can fly when you are roaming around the house on your horse trying to find the "bad man" and the "mean bear"! Whew....I think we did catch both of them though (although I am not quite sure because the "shooting" was still going on while I was leaving)...

And Micaiah had to find the PERFECT spot for his gun....tucked into his pants of course! :)
And Gracie did get a chance on the horse for just a few seconds before she was booted off by her big brothers...
The face that Samuel is making is sooo funny to me...this one may be my fave from the day!
Thanks for the cowboy lessons boys!

Thanks for spending some time catching the kids in action...they spend time almost everyday in their cowboy get-ups and are always ready to catch a bear. You do an incredible job capturing the moments that we will always be able to cherish. We love you!
