Cowboy's

You may not know but deep down inside the Regusci Family are cowboys (cowgirls if you ask Serafina) at heart. On any given weekend you will find all 6 of us (yes AJ has boots too) tromping around in our cowboy boots and hats (Matteo calls them "cow" hats). You can often find the kids biking, scootering, and any other outdoor activity in their boots.


One of the Regusci kids favorite weekend chore is to go down the hill to tend to the goats. Down with the goats they enjoy running through the field/ tall grass on a hill, and sharpening their roping skills by trying to lasso the goats (yes we have a real lasso rope).


But what they are mostly excited about is that fact that mom recently found a horseback riding school within 5 minutes of the house. Serafina just completed her first daddy and me class and is eagerly awaiting her next one. Sam is eagerly (asking me daily when it will start) awaiting his horseback riding camp, 5 straight days of nothing but horses, which is middle of July!!

Of course my had our resident photographer head out to a couple of the class to get pictures. Of the most exciting events of her last class was that while practicing different positions of riding Serafina's horse bucked her right off. The poor thing flew to the ground and landed face first in the dirt. But like any good Cowgirl she brushed off the dirt and climbed back on, smiling the whole time. So with out further ado pictures:

This picture was taken after she was thrown from the horse


As was this one.




Trick riding

Brother loved to watch.



They made them take care of their horse!


And even took a trail ride!

Serafina was a trooper . . . fell off one horse, spit the sand out and got right back on. Ride-em cowgirl!
