Rylie and the Horses

Greetings from Astana---
Here are a few pictures from our visit with Rylie. When we got there, she hadn't eaten yet, so Sara got to feed her breakfast. Again, Rylie is dining with her buddy Sabina. She spent a lot of the day dancing to our translator Gulsana's cell phone. Rylie loves music, so she was entertained by bouncing up and down and shaking her head from side to side for about 3o minutes by the music from the cell phone. As usual, Rylie spent a decent amount of time playing in the bin of balls.

We also had a little fun playing with her hair. We think from the looks of this picture, Rylie might have been holding out to be the next Jolie-Pitt!

But since she's stuck with us, we thought we'd help her out a little with her hair. These pics are for G.G. We know you've been waiting for us to put barrettes in her hair!In the afternoon, we went to the horseback riding place. Here is a picture of the outside.And here is Adam on his horse, Omega!!!After Adam's horseback riding adventure, one of the guys who works there gave us a tour of where all of the horses stay. We even got to see some of their newest additions! These horses range from 6 months to a year old. So that's all from here. Love to everyone----

Okay--We are so impressed on so many levels..Here are at least the top three reasons why--

1. Sara has a winter hat on her head. {In previous lives, she refused to get winter hats during snow season. It must be really cold there!}

2. Rylie's barrette picture with the salute to GG (Great-Grandmother Libby ) is now the toast of Southern Florida. It has been printed out and put on large billboards. GG wanted to know how you knew that she wanted barrettes in Rylie's hair. We replied that every female in the family knows that GG wants barrettes in every female child's hair. No rocket science involved--just GG's philosophy on bringing up little girls. Wait till she does the sister dresses with Jordyn.

3. We e-mailed the Jolie-Pitt family that Rylie is not going to them, despite her mohawk. She can visit California to see her California people like her other grandparents Elaine and Ed in Ventura and great-grandparents Pearl and Bill and extended family in Palm Springs and maybe a stop-off to cousin Russell in Santa Monica--but she is not going to be part of that other family---even if she does put her hair in a mohawk every day--with or without the barrette!

4. finally---Sara was actually near horses?? What is this world coming to?

Love you all--Keep the pictures coming..Mom and Dad/aka Rylie's Nana and Pa

Hi,

Keep the pictures coming! So after reading your parents comments I guess asking Sara if she tried a ride on the horse is out of the question! Can't wait to hear about your next adventure in Kaz. Take care. Stay well. Hugs and Kisses. Love, Aunt Raggedy

Hi Sara and Adam,
the barettes are great-just don't let GG get near her with a Toni home permanent! She is beautiful and I can't wait to get my hands on her (just like one hundred other blog stalkers). Sounds like you are still enjoying your adventure. Your pictures of the horse and the buildings look like they came off the set of a movie.
Stay warm, love, Tanta Debbi and Uncle Bob
ps I liked the beard!

Can't say we don't admire the "like poppa" hairstyle, but we're with GG, the barrette's take the prize! The horseback pic is classic - Adam looks like a natural.

The bows in her hair look soooooo great! I love it!

Such wonderful pictures!
Thanks for sharing!

I love that you went to the horses today... how fun is that?! Is this a new hobby for you once you get back to AZ??

The blog has been a joy. I vote for more mohawk pictures.

Love the barrettes. You know I am a big fan! I have found some good sites to buy plenty of cute bows and barrettes from. Can't wait to share!

Sara-- I am with you about the horses. Although they are beautiful and Adam looks great up there, I would be looking from a far as well!

Hope you had a nice weekend.
Love, Hannah
