dragon/horsey rides

After watching "How to Train Your Dragon" they were dragon rides for a long time. That is right up until we went to Grandpa Williams for the real thing, and then it was back to horsey rides. It is one of the all time favorite things the kids do with Chad, and he loves every second of it. Over the Christmas break Chad had lots of extra family time that was used to wear the knees out of two pairs of jeans playing horsey! He had a lot of fun trying out three and even four kiddos on his back at a time while in Preston with our nieces joining in the fun. I think it was good practice! This surgery rotation has been a busy one, so when Chad gets home at night, it usually takes less than a minute before one or both of the kids are perched on top of their dear old dad. I can't say that I love that he gets right down to play time business in his good dress pants, but it really is worth it with the limited time they have had together. Aimee has also had a few variations in which she now leads him around by the tie to either the "big girl barn" or "for a little walk." I don't know of a Daddy more in love with his kiddos!
