A Grandom Adventure

 Because it was grand and random. 

On a random Tuesday, the weather was glorious and Mike was away for work. When Hannah told me she found a cheap cart for sale just around the corner from Fair Hill, the temptation was too good to resist. Besides, I love to scare my boss by taking random unexplained PTO during the week. 

Originally, we hoped to bring the horses for a mounted side quest, but after taking some measurements, we realized that horses and cart wouldn't fit in the trailer simultaneously. 

Instead, we went on to have a glorious, fun-filled day of tomfoolery.

October 2026

My goodness, how is it November already? The year is wrapping right up.

Things I need to post about:

• A random road trip with Hannah (sans horses!)
• Riding Hannah's horses at Ringwood
• Taking Max to Christie Hoffman
• Exploring Clover Hill Park (and getting attacked by vultures... twice)
• Riding at the St. Michael's Preserve
  
• A grand horseback adventure at Washington Valley (and nearby Dunkin Donuts)
• The subsequent hike Mike and I took there in search of my hoof boot
• Taking the boys to an obstacle clinic and accidental cattle play day
• Max's first (and second!) NACMO ride

In the meantime, here's everything else that happened in October. I'm so glad we packed this much adventure into one of my favorite months. I feel like we soaked up every bit of fall we could before the time change. 

The goodest boys.
