While we were back home, we took Mel to a horseback riding lesson at the stables she used to ride at. She loved seeing the horses she used to ride and her old instructor. It was the one thing she wanted to do while we were home. She had a great time and we all had a great time watching her ride. Mae got right in there and helped with the horse. Mel even took her little sister for a ride on her favorite horse Sarah.
Spencer had a huge birthday party this year thinking that it would also be his good-bye party. We ended up staying here almost two year longer. I guess he'll need another good-bye party.
