One last visit with the horse



On Sunday Wyatt and I went over to the neighbors house for one last visit with this life size bronze horse. Both of the neighbors have passed away and the family was having an estate sale to get rid of everything, including the bronze horse that Wyatt spent many hours riding as a toddler. He must have logged at least 1,000 hours on that horse. Mr. Johnson (the former owner of the horse) enjoyed watching Wyatt ride him all over the place, even to Maine. Now the horse has been sold, if I had the $1200.00 I would have purchased him just for all the memories. We did hear that a couple with a young toddler bought the horse and she had already begun her riding journey right there in the same yard that my young toddler rode that horse almost every day for 3 years. So Sunday was our day to go say good by to the old bronze horse, even though Wyatt is now to big to ride him it was nice to know that he was their and to be able to see him through the red gate each day. So it is time to say Good Bye Bronze Horse and have fun with your new toddler and may she have many years of fond memories like we do.
