Similar to any little kid, Addison loves it when we drive by horses, or any animal, for that matter. One day while in Wenatchee, she went on a snake hunt with her grandpa Sparks. They drove up Number 2 Canyon and looked for snakes on the road (they only look, no touching). While up there, they came upon some horses in a barn and they got out to pet them. Afterwards, she begged and pleaded to be brought back up to the horses. Her grandparents even bought her toy horses and a barn for her room. Back in the Tri-Cities, Aaron and I noticed that Addison was always asking about the horses in Wenatchee and always wanted to drive by the ones here. I just happen to work with a couple that has horses (Shawnee and Levi), and they agreed to let Addison come ride one - she was in heaven! This was still in the fall and she serisouly talked our ears off about her fun time riding Casey the horse for two months before I was comfortable enough to ask my friends again if she could ride. So just a few weeks ago, wrapped from head to toe in snow gear (it was about 30 degrees), she was able to ride Casey again. I haven't seen that girl so happy in her life! Shawnee, Levi, Casey (the horse) and Paige (the other horse) have become daily topics of conversation around my house - Addison asks where they are, what they eat, if she can call them, etc.
For Christmas she really wanted a play horse and asked for it every time she sat on Santa's lap. She also received two other play horses over the holidays, as well as a horse calendar that is hanging in her bathroom.
Since the obsession hasn't died down, we're thinking of throwing her a horse-themed 4th birthday party - she will be so excited!!
