A fun day "camping"

About a week ago we had a fun day with Deniece's family out on their property where they sort of camp out during the end of the summer. They call it Camp Rita. (Deniece's grandma.)
They have a neat creek where they swim.
And we went out to see Rita's horses. Here is Rita's sister and her year old horse Charlie, who is amazingly obedient for his age, and so soft, and beautiful. Alexa got to sit on him for a bit. He isn't old enough for an adult to ride him yet, but he can handle a child.
Alexa is so comfortable around the horses. They were pretty much nibbling at her hair, and she just stood there, completely unconcerned. The other kids got pretty nervous when the horses got too close. I do have keep her close and make sure they don't knock her over or step on her, but I loved these friendly horses!
