Horses and slides
My girls take horseback
riding in the afternoon normally, but since it's been so hot, we went first
thing this morning. Horseback riding is one of those activities that I
agonize over; I am always trying to figure out the balance of out-of-the
home activities a family the size of mine should engage in. Obviously, it
differs between families, but it seems that every activity that requires
leaving the house has to be REALLY worth the trouble. Don't get me wrong,
we leave the house everyday for something, but I still weigh every activity.
Alei, Moriah and Alyssa all love riding, but it's expensive and time consuming;
although for now it's passing my "worth it" standard. Since we
have homeschool co-op classes on Tuesday and Thursday and Book Club every other
Friday, it only leaves Monday and Wednesdays to cram in music lessons,
gymnastics and horseback riding. I would love to buy an extra day of the
week! So, everyone but Gabriel, headed out the door this morning at 8:30
for riding lessons, then we stopped for 20 minutes at the park. Turns
out, I can take at least 50 pictures in 20 minutes! Here's our morning:
James, Ben, Alyssa, Alei, Moriah, Tori and Julia pet the horses.
Tori was concerned
about the wet park mulch on her Hello Kitty shoes.
Alei and Julia on the
"handicap" swing; Julia was saying "Whoa...."
James

Alyssa and Moriah
