Sublette Hayride

On Friday our sublette ladies bible study planned a hayride around town to look at the Christmas lights with our families. We met at Whitney's, filled our cups with hot chocolate, got all bundled up and climbed aboard this huge trailer decorated with white icicle lights and laden with hay. It was SO MUCH FUN!

Cole had his big coat and stocking cap on and was bundled up in the stroller sack (both thanks to Katie) and stayed cozy warm on his daddy's lap for the 45 minute ride. 

There were two ladies who couldn't come because their families were sick, so we took the opportunity to stop by their houses and carol from the trailer. They loved it!

We returned to Whitney's house for more hot cocoa, let the kids play, the guys talk hunting, and us girls talk Christmas plans while we kept our eyes on the guys and the kids - hoping everyone was behaving and having fun. 

We ended up at the pizza place at 7:30 for an impromptu dinner outing. 

A few thoughts from the night:

1. I don't know how we would get a hayride together if we lived in the city but as it was, we had at least 3 girls in our study that had access to a trailer and hay. Ha! The joys of living in a rural community. 

2. Us girls in the study are becoming great friends but our husbands aren't, naturally. They don't hardly know each other and their lives rarely intersect. So while we girls are loving spending time together, they don't get to enjoy the same comraderie. So, it was super fun to see them finding some common ground and talking farming and hunting. Definitely a highlight. 

3. I am over the top grateful for this group! What a gift.
