A horse is a horse, of course, of course!



In honor of the 60th anniversary of the Germantown Charity Horse show, the city of Germantown commissioned 21 ornamental horses, created by local artists. The horses are all over the city, in front of the businesses that sponsored them. The kids have had a great time spotting the different ones along the side of the road. One Sunday afternoon, the whole family loaded up and went on a horse scavenger hunt. Callie thought it was such a treat to ride in Grandpa's car, which is normally a carseat/cheerio free zone. As much I'm sure you'd like to see all 21 horses, I'm just going to give you the highlights.


This one, covered with 15,000 pennies, is called "Horse Cents"



This one is Chandler's favorite, "Purple Reign".





My Mom, Grandma, and the kids in front of "Flower Power".




Callie, our girly girl, loved the pink horse, in honor of "Race for the Cure".


My Dad, the chauffer, could not have been more excited to see the horses.
