Eryn and Krista riding their beloved Stick Horses
If the girls weren't riding their REAL horses, they were jumping rope fences with their stick horses or playing inside with their Breyer Horses. I remember one time stepping quietly into the living room and observing a very somber couple of girls being very serious and sad in their play (I think one of their horses had just gottten hurt or had died) I realized that a very heart-rending George Winston song was on, so I quickly changed it and suddenly, the horses were fine and all was well with their make-believe-world. Funny how deeply effected they have both always been by music.
Billy drinking from the "swimming pool" was just one of his antics. Once, when Gary was setting a fence post and had a wheel-barrow of wet cement ready, he looked around and Billy had slurped a huge mouthful and was about to come back for more! Another time, after we'd filled our little trailer with sticks from the windstorm, Billy decided he could help by systematically removing them one by one. He was SUCH a character.
