Week-End Carriage Ride

Saturday I was going to take the girls to an Arts Festival in a neighboring town. After finally getting out the door and into the car and driving, little L got her whine on. There was no consoling her and I could tell she was just tired. She was also incessant. I hoped that the activities of the festival would distract her. When we got there, I realized it had been silent for a minute, and I looked in the back seat and she was asleep. So we did not go to the festival, I just kept driving!!! I drove another 30 minutes to historic Madison Georgia (Sherman's Southern HQ during The War) where my friend has a week-end carriage service. She had been wanting to meet them and had been concerned about our trip last week, so I pulled up on the town square, and there was her horse and carriage!

She took us for a short ride around the main part of town. I had been on the full tour before and that would have been too much for these girls. But it was real nice of her to accommodate us.

We are discussing her cousin, my son, and then she is giving directions to a lost tourist. The look on W's face is priceless!

When we get back to the town square we get a few photos before we let Elaine get back to business.

They look precious! OH girl I know all about "keep on drivin" when Miss G falls asleep in the car. If I drive around long enough she starts to do that heavy breathing sleep where I know she is OUT, then I can finally go home and plop her in bed, asleep!

What is up on the "names" front? Is it still W and L? Or are you changing them?

So happy for you!!! Where is your son, how is he loving having 2 sisters?

Well, it looks like that little nap did L a lot of good. I like their firm grip on the carriage. Their outfits are so cute!

I am just in awe that they are truly, truly home. They look very happy, quite settled... like they've been with you there all along.

Hope their transition has been seamless so far.

Congrats!

Nice!! Reading your blog is like the pinch that reminds me that this is all real and will eventually happen.
Looks like a lot of fun, I love seeing photos of you and your girls together.
