Lilja's new love ..

We told lilja she could chose one activity a year to do after school . Last year it was ballet, this year she is in love with horses ..so we set up horseback riding lessons . ..but after we set down with lilja and has a serious talk about us never buying a horse , never ever . We told her , you will have to work for it , Have friends that have horses or find people that would let you use their horses. Well luckily we already know those people and they have graciously agreed to let us ride one of their horses, Virgil. And so it starts ...

I set up a lesson together with jt . Thought that would be a goid push to watch an older child and do it together.  They did great ! 

She was serious and smiling at the same time 

At the end they went for a walk to the barn 

Virgil was just wonderful 

Look mom no hands !

Lilja first had to clean hooves and brush Virgil 

Virgil loved her bike helmet 

This same day we also went miniature golfing. .lilja's second time in her life 

Jt is a big golfer so patiently tried to teach her this very hard sport 

Oh yes, she is getting bigger !! Notice her new shoes style !! Yep, she has another pair at home like that .

Such a great teacher. Lilja adores him !!
