Riding

Levi’s CC tutor and daughters invited us over to visit their animals. Her oldest daughter gave Levi a riding lesson while the second daughter led the other kids around on another horse. It was such a beautiful day, and we all had a fantastic time.

The kids held chickens, gathered eggs, and played with the (huge!) dog. Lola was fearless.

She knew perfectly well that a saddle is no good if it isn’t on a horse. “Put it on horse,” she demanded.

This would be her smug look. Yes, much better.

Wait. It could get even better, she thinks. “I hold rope.” Yes, that’s my independent child.

And then there was some sliding. And chatting. And lemonade. Just lovely. I’m so thankful for special friends.
