To Watch a Sunrise

This morning the alarm rang at 4:30 and I bounced awake. It was weird. I guess I hadn't been sleeping long enough for me to actually be tired. Anna on the other hand was not so easy to drag out of bed, despite all of the planning that went on just 5 1/2 hours previous. She was less than enthusiastic about watching the sunrise on horse back and thought sleeping was a much better option, but I made her get up. I knew she'd thank me for it someday. :) When we got the horses it was dark, but by the time we had them saddled and ready to go it was pretty light out. We rode up to our neighbor's field since it's the best place to see the sun make it's entrance.

It was really foggy and the moon was really bright. It was weird seeing the sun and moon at the same time.
It seems like we waited for half an hour before the sun came up, and it was pretty cold.
Bebe joined us.
Mystique and Bai.
Mystique waiting...
Anna waiting...


The corn waiting...


And then THE SUN.
Even Anna agrees that it was worth it.

It was definitely worth it, I'd say!
