Ruthie spent a week at Horse Camp- two hours a day learning to ride, mucking out stalls, grooming and tacking the horse they were assigned. Ruthie loved it. It's one of those things you're not sure you want them to love, and you hope they might just get their fix and get over it. Well, it only fueled Ruthie's love for all things equestrian. She is now asking to take lessons and also to go back and visit her horse, Squirt, and take Daddy to meet him. I'm proud that she loved it and didn't mind the hard work involved and that she wasn't deterred by the difficulty of it. It suits her personality in alot of ways too. Unfortunately most of the stables near us don't take girls as young as six, so she'll have to wait a while! It was a great experience and I'm glad she was able to do it.

Oh we are tinkering with this idea- it's the only thing Julia has her heart set on and we are doing a camp next summer- but oh is it expensive! So glad Ruthie had fun and could do it at 6!
I LOVE the first picture of her! So beautiful!
Wow, I haven't checked your blog in ages! Your summer looks like it was amazing. Please frame all of those gorgeous beach portraits of your kids, they are so beautiful!
