Back to the Village

We went back to Gardner's Village yesterday, and it was the perfect weather! Not only did we get to do some shopping, but Piper fell in love!

His name is Sparky and he gave Piper her first ever pony ride. She has been waiting anxiously for the day that she would be able to ride a horse, and while Sparky isn't exactly Black Beauty, he was close enough for her!

Porter just watched his sister, a little upset that he couldn't join in on the fun.

Adi opted out of the animal fun and decided to hit afew shops with Her Aunt Whit and Nana.

This little Village is so cool- not just for the eclectic stores there, but it also has Archibalds (a nice, sit-down restaraunt inside an old mill silo),a cute lil' bakery (with the biggest cinnamon rolls I have ever seen), even cuter brick paths and bridges, but there were also ducks roaming around that the girlies got to feed (I was too afraid to take the impetuous young Porter out of his stroller for fear he would charge head-first into the pond).

If any of our AZ friends or family ever make it up to visit us (hint, hint) we will have to visit this place!
