Real cowboys are from Texas (according to Jake)

My parents have a friend with a couple of horses on a big Texas ranch. We brought the kids out there to see the horses. We were all surprised when Kathy told us the kids could brush the horses and they could even go for a ride through the pasture. Baylee has been on a horse a couple of times but this was a first for Jake, he was ecstatic. When we were walking through the field I asked Jake what he thought about it and he said it was really cool because "real cowboys are from Texas" and I guess he thought he was a cowboy. We walked down to this pond and Kathy told me there were snakes in the pond. I have a huge fear of snakes, I mean HUGE! We then were walking through the tall grass and she said that there could be snakes in the grass as well. I just had to block that out of my mind and put on a brave face for my kids. I also got bit by a fire ant (if you know what they are you know how painful the bite can be). Even though I was a little nervous, the most important thing was that the kids had a fabulous time. Now Baylee and Jake want to take horseback riding lessons.$$$
