On Friday, August 22, we celebrated Rachel's 6th birthday! She invited 5 friends to come to a farm and go horseback riding! (she was inspired by PBS show "Saddle Club"....this is what happens when you don't have cable.) Rachel's actual birthday was Sat., August 23, but she was playing in her 1st soccer game that day. Enjoy pics from both below.

I made a barn cake with horse cupcakes around it. A few extra cupcakes said "Happy Birthday Rachel", with 2 cupcakes for candles on either side.

Rachel on her horse, before the trail ride (led by a guide).

Rachel with her friends...and yes, the girl on the end is only 6 as well...her family is tall.

Warming up before the game with Daddy.

Rachel's team won by at least 6 goals (they don't really keep score at this level, so we were trying to keep track). It could've been more, had her team not been competing for the ball between themselves, as pictured here. This is one instance where Rachel had "an assist" rather than a goal. She was tired, but had fun.
