run...

In between heavy rain this afternoon Morganne took the opportunity to go outside and RUN!

Got to love the energy of a child! Lissy

the rest of our holidays...

We have had a mostly quiet holiday at home...just everyday stuff...

 

One day left...then back to school...Lissy

big sister....

Evangeline is a great big sister to Morganne...They play together...

Evangeline teaches her things very carefully and patiently...

And reads to her...

And comforts her...

They have their moments but Evangeline is a fair and kind big sister...and she almost always lets Morganne play with any of her things...and includes her little sister when friends come to play...I hope they always have a good relationship...Lissy

holiday happenings....

We are on winter school holidays...so we have had trips to the park....

We've had friends over to play...and been playing with the horses and ponies...

And been a bit creative over at the shed....



Some rainy and cold days but some great days too...

Ben is home so that makes it all nicer...Lissy

a walk to the park...

Today we had a family outing...we took the ponies for a walk to the park!


If it wasn't for Parelli I would have never have thought of this! And now we have the skills and savvy to do this safely and have fun!


The girls led the ponies for a while…
 

And we stopped to say hello to our horses on the way down the road…

I did travelling circles most of the way with Bella...We did more circles at the park while the girls had a play in the playground....


And my non horsey husband even had a go at the circling game with Trumby and did great...he has obviously been taking in something from watching me and the dvds!

And of course there was a lot of eating grass...and odd looks from other people!

And the girls both had a ride on the way home...


The only blot on the outing was when M stood in an ants nest....I had to rip her clothes and shoes off...while still holding a pony and ants crawling up my legs ...

We left them on the side of the road and Ben carried her home and drove back to get them...still covered in ants!


An almost perfect outing on a warm winter's day! And good exercise for us all! Lissy
