Mary Mac had her first horseback riding lessons last week and she was in heaven! I was shocked how easily she caught on to the concept of "steering" the horse where to go. Her teacher said she was impressed too at how well she did the first time as a 4 year old! Carly (teacher) showed her how to brush the horse and get the saddled and then helped her get on it and then she was off! She rode Jimmy (is sooo old and perfect for her to learn) for about 45 minutes and by the end of the lesson she was doing it all by herself and getting him to go through and around jumps (not jumping, just walking). Then Carly showed her how to give him a bath to cool him off after the lesson. She had a ball, to say the least!!! Here is a video and pictures from the lesson.
And Anna had her first ballet class (Mommy & Me) last week too! She absolutely loved it - not sure what she loved more - having mommy all to herself or the actual class? Just kidding, she loved the class and giggled the whole time. She couldn't wait to show her sister what all she learned at ballet. She and Mary Mac danced all that night at home with each other which was so much fun to watch! I hate I didn't get it on video. Mary Mac was acting like the teacher and Anna was doing everything Mary Mac did! Here is a video of Anna's class - sorry for the blurry beginning, but her smiles and giggles are worth the watch!

looks to me that mama loved ballet class the most. i can't wait for scarlett to start classes. hopefully i can find a mommy and me class too!
I was the camera "operator" and thus the out of focus on Leigh's blog. Not very good at these "new fangle" cameras. Leigh's card was full or I would have gotten some of the other dance moves. She just loved it. Mary Mac's first riding lesson was great. Her Pop and I were a little worried about her falling off (still are) and want her instructor to stand real close to her. She was so quiet, not like Mary Mac. She listened to the instructor and took all her directions very seriously. Just wonder how long this love for horses will last (forever)?
