As we were driving to church a couple weeks ago Vincent and I had the idea to invite a few people over after church to take rides on Ray's wagon. Ray had his new fancy shoe (a shoe with a pad) on and we could now safely use him without hurting his foot. Craig, Diane, Bob, Sarah, Kristine, Karoline and Keith came down for some rides. They brought along a couple horses to ride. My grandparents came down for a ride (and to watch) also.

Ray was a little antsy at first because there were three new horses around. He quickly settled in once we hooked him to the wagon (it is really heavy) and he needed to focus on his job. My inlaws horses were a little nervous about the giant horse pulling a wagon. They were fine when they were behind the wagon, but when Brad would turn the wagon toward them they would get nervous. Yes, Brad did that on purpose several times!

While the adults were getting the horses ready the kids decided to play on the lime pile outside of the barn. They had a sled out there and tried sledding down it. They also had a shovel and dug several holes. They were having a blast! Unfortunately sitting somewhere in the pile is Joel's prized Lightning McQueen car. I am sure we will find it when the pile gets moved.

Ray overall did a great job pulling the wagon. The empty wagon it is a lot more work than he is used to and he pulled a wagon full of passengers around for awhile that Sunday afternoon. He was exhausted! He is going to need some sort of training program this spring so he is ready to go for the summer and fall.
