Each grade level at Dawson's school chose a charity to support all year long. Her class picked Victory Gallop, which is a therapeutic horseback riding. They are also known for "Petie the Pony." He is a pony that goes to Akron Children's Hospital and gives lots of love to the children! What her class didn't know was that I was a board member there for many years prior to Dawson being born. It has always been a favorite charity of mine!
Her class went a few times in small groups to deliver items collected each month. Today, the whole class went to see Petie for the last time, play on the play ground, picnic and take a hike.
Since Papa works so close, he stopped by for some fun!
The kids were told to take a silly picture with Petie!
They really do love Petie. My animal lover was front and center when it came to petting Petie! In fact, she even has a stuffed Petie I bought for myself many years ago!
There were beautiful views as we headed on our walk towards the woods.
A few of the other horses that were eating in the fields. They were beautiful horses!
And finally we headed back to the barn. It was a hot day and the kids were sweating. When we made it back, popsicles were waiting for us!
