Looking for something fun to do on an early fall day, I stumbled upon a place in our area called "Kids Love Pony Parties". In addition to doing pony rides for birthdays at your location or their barn, they also offer private pony "experiences" for kids 2 and up. They call this the "Clippity KLoPP Club". It sounded perfect for Grace to get to pet and brush a miniature pony, see the stables, and ride a pony for as long as she wanted....all for $30! You can't beat that!
So we ventured out on Saturday morning, dressed in our finest fall attire to see what it was all about.
I was thrilled and surprised as we pulled up to the location when we saw their marquee welcoming Grace. You can't beat that for making someone feel special! 
The owner, Carla, and her daughters were patient, kind, and low-key the entire time. We never felt rushed. Grace got to meet their horses, bunnies, and cats as she became comfortable in and around the barn.Getting a kiss!
After putting on a helmet for safety...
...Grace rode Peanut as much as she wanted.
She brushed Princess and decorated her mane with lots of ribbons and bows...
...she climbed to the top of the barn to drop hay into the stalls,and she gave all the horses treats at the end!
Grace didn't smile or talk very much while she was riding but we know she loved it because she didn't want to leave when it was time to go. 
Oh, could that be a smile?
Maybe we'll go back again someday.

Nana thinks you should go back "some day" soon! I bet the next time Grace will be more relaxed and smile more. I want to see more pictures of Mommy too! Tell Kyle please.
Love Nana
You MUST tell me where this is :) How awesome! Looks like Grace had a blast! Wonder if they have a set up for winter b-days?!? Doubt it, but how fun!!
Gee Grace, it wouldn't hurt you to smile for Mommy, at least more than once. Ya think?
