Connor and the horses in Hilton Head

Here's some more pictures from our Hilton Head trip that I have been meaning to share. Each day we'd ride our bikes to the beach we'd pass by horse stables. We would always bring carrots for Connor to feed to the horses, it was one of the highlights of his day! We also took him to ride ponies twice while we were there. He was allowed to choose from four different ponies and both times he chose the same black pony named Mocha. My little guy is such an animal lover!!



First pony ride on Mocha!

Huge smiles!


They also had a small animal farm where the kids could pet all the animals. Here's Connor with a baby deer.


Here Connor is feeding carrots to a huge Clydesdale horse named Harley. Seriously, Harley's head was as big as Connor. Can you imagine feeding something that size if you were Connor? You can see the slight hesitation in his face and I love how his thumb is in the ready position should it be needed.


Petting Harley.

Lastly, here's a picture of Connor last summer when we were in Hilton Head. As I always say, what a difference a year makes!

Julie, some of my favorite pics of you were at petting zoos - remember the baby goats (and you were in high school) at Busch Gardens? This acorn did not fall far from the tree at all, and he is so fearless! What a guy.
love, Gramps
