More than any other day this week, Maisie has been looking forward to today most of all because she knew that we were going to pick up Maya this morning and head to the horse farm where the two of them, along with two other friends, will be attending horseback riding camp for a week in June.
Maisie and Maya loved meeting and petting some of the horses.
Hand in hand the girls toured the facility.
They met the ponies that they’ll be riding this summer.
And they went off exploring the grounds with some of the girls working at the farm.
They met one of the two older horses who roam free at the ranch.
And pretended to be horses in the indoor rink.
Maisie had a smile on her face the entire time we were at the barn.
The girls gave farewell pats to the horses and said their goodbyes until they return in June.
Maisie is super excited and can’t wait for horseback riding camp to begin.
We returned home for a lunch of dumplings and carrot sticks with dip.
Then we spent time wrapping eggs in silk ties to make Easter eggs.
We rolled each egg in the fabric and then with tiny rubber bands, twisted the ends to secure the fabric.
The eggs looked so pretty all twisted in their fabric and we couldn’t wait to see how they would turn out.
While the eggs cooked the girls played.
It was fun to see the eggs once the silk was removed.

The color on a few of the eggs was just too light so Maisie took her markers and crayons to those while I finished unwrapping the remaining cooked eggs.

Horseback riding camp?!!! Oh man, *I* want to go to horseback riding camp. They are going to have so much fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the silk-colored eggs -- never heard of that before and we just might have to try it this week.
xo.
Those eggs are so pretty! That was brilliant. Did you cut up all of E's ties to do that project?
ReplyDeleteWhat I noticed most about the horse barn/arena is how much cleaner it all was compared to wear Linlee rides. Hmm. Maybe I'll send pictures to Linlee's place so they can catch a clue. LOL! Can't wait to see pictures from horse camp this summer. Those two little girls sure looked awfully cute.
These blog postings are so much fun to read. Since being sick this week, I've looked forward to reading a new one each day. Horse camp looked wonderful. The Easter egg project looked INCREDIBLE. Those are just gorgeous. Very unique.

ReplyDeleteLove the egg project! I think I might need to try that out.
