A year of first

This has been a year of first, not only for Cat and I, but also for Shari.  This year I decided to let both of them attend their first parade.

Early this week we did a little preparation homework to make sure we were all ready.  I purchased this "curtain" and the wind was so kind as to help animate it for us.

I'm hoping I can make a PVC curtain holder so I can move this to where we can ride underneath it, but for now this will do.

Cat quickly learned this scary object was a source of rest and seemed to be magically drawn to it.  :)

We borrowed my mom's flag from the front porch to see how the horses would react.  I wasn't too worried about Sis and Abby as both of them have carried flags in the past.  I was a little taken back when Cat was the least worried about the flag.

She was to the point she really didn't care what I did to her as long as she got to rest next to the pretty blue stuff.

If you notice, her eyes are closed and she is pretty relaxed (if not sleeping).

Do you like her new forelock?

Time for the parade!

Someone wasn't supposed to be that far ahead!

Oh yeah, I have candy to throw!

All-in-all the horses were great!  We couldn't have asked for a better day.  Stay tuned for our next adventure................
