Saturday August 18th Christine had her first lesson in horse-riding. I was a little excited to see if she would like it or not. But she just loved it. We brought my niece, and she was the one walking next to the horse, or running :) I was the one taking pictures ;) Well Christine had fun, and we decided to go back the Saturday after. Normally they start out with practice 6 Saturdays for new beginners, before they start on a real team, but our second time there, Lisa, the teacher, said that she would put Christine on her team, which practices Monday afternoons, because she was doing so good.. Christine was so happy, and Monday night she was practicing trot with Lisa in the middle holding the horse in a long line, instead of some one running next to the horse. I have a feeling that this is something she really wants to learn. She is very dedicated.
Another thing: Life in 1st grade is different than Kindergarten. They have home work, a new thing we need to add to our daily routine. But Christine is doing good, and she seems to love 1st grade. She is getting better and better at reading, and she loves to read to us in the evening before bedtime.
Getting help from Lisa to get on the horse.
Fie teaching Christine how to hold the reins.

It is hard learning to ride, so Christine and Molly fel asleep on our couch.
