Today we took a trip a few stops down the tram line to the village of Günterstal. We came for the playground, but the kids had more fun in the large field beside it. It was perfect for galloping. This weekend they’ve been playing a game where they have imaginary horses. Most of the details are unknown to me, but Thom has one named Mercy and Vinnie’s are Gus and Lemon. While I was brushing Neddy’s teeth this morning, I told him that I wanted a real horse when I was a kid. I loved riding my friends’ horses, but Ama and Papa never bought one. Ned seemed bewildered at the idea of his grandparents not granting a request.

Looks like they needed wide open spaces!

By the way, I love that your kids are imagining horses. Reminds me of old Johnson and Minneapolis or Bonkers and Jasper.

Tell me about it! Do you remember my story about wanting a horse when we first moved to the farm? It took me a long time to realize that Dad doesn't like farm animals. Sigh.
