Birthday party

Yesterday we went to the Pumpkin Farm to celebrate Lily's friend's birthday. The girls had a great time together.

Girlfriends

How appropriate...a school bus shot for school friends. Yes, Lily is back in school as of last week. When I have time, I'll update more about that.

Enjoying a birthday cupcake. Lily's friend's mom made a really cute fish birthday cake with blue mini-cupcake "bubbles".


I know that this is a bad shot. But, this horse caused one of my scariest mommy moments to date. We had just arrived at the birthday party when the girls decided that they would like to ride the horses. Just as the horses started up, the guy walking next to Lily adjusted his hat and spooked her horse. The horse reared ALL the way up on his hind legs until he was practically vertical with my daughter holding on for dear life. Luckily, they regained control of the horse, and Lily recovered beautifully. Her expression after the incident revealed the she was a little shaken, but she continued to ride the horse and never shed a tear. Even the adults nearby commented that they would not have handled it as well as she did. She definitely earned her cowgirl badge that day.

Good for you for handling it so well too! Hopefully you didn't shed a tear either! Way to go, Lily!
