Twin Mania

As I started organizing for the upcoming programs this week it occurred to me that we have had an extraordinary number of twins riding at the barn.  Most of you know that our family has a set of fraternal nine-year-old twins:  Lauren and Sarah.  This past week, we had both an identical set of twins in the 3 day learn to ride program and a younger set of fraternal twins who returned for a second year of pony rides while visiting their grandma.  Earlier this year an older set of fraternal twin girls began taking lessons at the farm and this week we will have another set of identical twins in the Life on a Farm program!  That is 5 sets of twins!!!  Amazing.

These two -- Buddy and Robin -- are NOT twins.  Robin belongs to one of the farriers and has been visiting since we started our riding program.  Most of Buddy's neighborhood dog friends are also black and white dogs so Robin is a nice change of pace!  Here is Buddy's newest friend:  Gurl.  She is Karrie's new puppy.

And this is Buddy's best friend, Maxwell, who comes over every day from East Mountain Farm (next door).  Maxwell is on vacation this week.   Gurl, Buddy and Max could almost be triplets!
