In addition to our great church visit of Saturday, we also filled it with some other BIG activities.
First, we started the morning with Morgans very first riding lesson. Oh yes, the horse obsession is still well and alive and I wanted to give her the opportunity to do something she really really loves. We found a farm close to our house and went for a visit about a week ago to meet the trainer(s) and horses. It is the most beautiful place - the whole area back there is and seriously reaffirms how much I too would love a farm of my own.
She got to retrieve the pony, brush and saddle him, and of course ride - her favorite part. She also learned her two-point position and did her first "jump" (the pony went over a poll on the ground). :-) She is still in love and this week gets to promote to a horse to practice trotting. I love that she loves it and laugh at the fact that only a few years ago she would not go near a horse. And, I don't mind taking her because I love being around those awesome animals just as much.
We had a lunch break and then were off to her Girl Scout troop fire station tour. They got to see the whole place, watch the fire"persons" slide down the pole, go inside the fire engine (and learn the difference between a truck and engine - I never knew either), and see one of the firemen dressed up in his uniform so they can see and hear what he would sound like if they ever see one in an emergency.
I liked seeing fire"persons" at their station much better than at our house I must say. ;-) And my use of fire"persons" is that our tour leader was a girl - named Sara too. She said it was fine to say firemen - but it still just feels wrong.
ps - still wondering what the difference between a fire truck and fire engine is???
The fire engine holds water and the truck does not. Now you know (if you didn't already).
