Urban Cowboys

While we were in Missouri, we had a chance to go to my aunt and uncle's house to see their horses. When I was younger one of my favorite memories was riding horses with my Aunt Terri when we visited my extended family.  Now,  my cousin Payden competes in rodeos, so it was fun to have a real live cowboy on hand to show us his tricks!

I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to convince Jackson to ride one of the horses, but after many questions and much thought he was up for it!



After petting and leading the horses, it was time to saddle up and just get used to actually sitting on a horse.  



I eventually got on with him, and finally we were off.  We took it easy at first.  Then I might have "accidentally" kicked a little to hard, and we took off in a full gallop - FUN!!   When it was time to go, he didn't want to stop riding!  
 


Eventually, we let Braden in on all the fun. 

 Maybe one day, one of the Johnson boys will be in a rodeo like their momma!
