Horses + Birthday cake

It was a perfect Fall day.  Temps in the 80's and the sun was shinin'!  We soaked in the summer fall air as much as we could, knowing these days are numbered.  The morning involved a lot of clean up outside.  After making lunch for the boys who were cutting wood, Landon and I walked down to the neighbors to see all the pretty horses.
Today was my Uncle John's trail ride.  We look forward to this every year, unfortunately, the weather hasn't cooperated the last two years.  This year, however, was one for the record books!
After seeing all the horses take off, we continued on a nice long run.  We then ended up back at home and Landon was down for the count.  Just like that, shortly after waking up from his nap, there were horses in our back yard!  They kept coming...
and coming...
and coming...  I don't know if it's the official count, but I heard 43 horses were on the ride.
After watching them in the backyard, we moved to the front and watched them go by again!
This gentelman was so nice and asked if the kids wanted to pet his horse.  Of course!
After the horses were gone, we settled in to celebrate two birthday's.  My Mom's birthday was yesterday (10/9), and next Saturday is my Dad's birthday (10/16).  And, Landon picked the cake out claiming they were just like Granpa's fishies!
You can't have a party without balloons.
A photo with the grandkids.  You can even see Elke peeking through!
Make a wish!
And just because I have the cutest nephew in the world!  Blue frosting turns your tongue blue. ;-)
