Day One-Hundred and Thirty-Five: Horses and Hiking

Today we were all pooped from all our galavanting around Ireland so we took it easy at the house this morning. The boys watched some TV in their own private room upstairs, Tate wandered around and kept trying to go up the stairs (thank heavens we have a one level flat in London!), and Todd and I lazed about taking it slow and just loving not having anything in particular to do.

After lunch we headed out for another hike on the property, this time it was shorter and deeper into the woods.

Before we went hiking we stopped by the Lobby of the hotel to pet the property dogs, which are Irish Terriers, of course! They let you take them for walks if you want, and we kinda tried, but they wouldn't have it. So we settled for playing with them in the front of the hotel for a little while.

Our boys love dogs...even Taters is very into "gogs" right now.

"Hi goggy"...

Our hike was fun and the boys collected more sticks and rocks along the way. Boys and sticks and rocks!! I will never get it. But I love seeing their little collections.

After our hike Tate and I came back to the house for a nap, while Todd took the boys horseback riding. Todd really wanted to take the boys and I was happy to stay back and relax the afternoon away.

Here are the boys getting all outfitted to ride horses!

Todd told me that Tagg talked to his riding partner the ENTIRE time. He didn't stop talking once. That is Tagg for you, this boy has no filters and can talk your ears off!
