{Horses}: Brian's birthday surprise

I knew it would be difficult to surprise Brian on his birthday. So I plotted with his cousin and kidnapped him 4 days before his birthday to go horseback riding. At first he was really confused as to why I would be wearing a scarf in the scorching heat of summer...until I wrapped it around his head so he couldn't see where we were going. 

Unfortunately I didn't think to tell him to wear pants, so riding in shorts just made it more of an adventure for him...oh well. He still looks pretty happy. :)

I was perfectly content to sit on the fence (literally) and watch Brian ride. I think horses are pretty and I"ll pet them if I'm on the ground. But to be honest, the minute I get on a tall horse I get nervous...so that's why I look so uncomfortable on the horse. Happy Birthday Brian! 23 years young :)
