Wonderful Week

I have the week off in honor of our past presidents. I don't know why suddenly it is presidents week, but I'm not one to question a gift. I am aware that as a working parent this holiday is extremely inconvenient, but this working mom took it as an opportunity to keep Lily home from school and enjoy. Lily hasn't seen her horses since October. A bit due to the weather and some due to the fact that I just can't take her while I'm working. She has been asking for Carrie and the horses for months. The other day she even got the laptop out opened it up and started punching at the keyboard. In a frantic panic, as this laptop is my addiction, I said Lily what are you doing? She said I'm sending my friend Carrie a message. Very funny. So thank goodness the weather is wonderful and Carrie was available. You would have thought I took Lily to Disneyland! Her grin did not leave her face the entire time we were there. Her legs have lengthened a bit so they don't stick straight out on the horse. Carrie says she is a natural. I have no idea if that is true or not as my knowledge about horses does not extend beyond they are large animals.

What I do know is that she is in love!

Our last Horse back riding lesson

Please be patient with me. My computer has met it's demise and so my mom is graciously letting me use her computer but it does not have my fancy editing system so I can not do as much with them. As we speak I am setting up 5 new posts that will post over the next few days so keep checking back.

This is our very last horseback riding lesson of the summer. I am so happy how brave my bee bop was. She loved it best when the horse would trot and her instructor carrie said that she didn't know many toddlers as brave as my Lily.

My mom came to our last lesson.

Lily even decided to take a drink out of the faucet which is usually a forbidden activity.

FFF horses

You are going to have to bear with me cause I have a feeling there will be a lot of horse pictures from here on out. When I went in to get Lily on Tuesday for preschool she was fully dressed laying in bed. She was all ready to see the horses. I told her we were going to see her friends and she stomped her little foot and said no you say me we going to see horses. We see horses and then go to Ms. Wendy's house and then have ice cream. Does that sound like a good idea? And yes that sounded like a fine idea but we still had to do it my way. Needless to say when Thursday finally got here she was one happy girl. She ran right down to the stables like she owned the place.
