Indigo and mud.

Here are some more recent pictures from Isabelle's riding lessons (this is from Saturday 1/3/09). She is riding Indigo. it was about 33 degrees in the barn, brrrrr!

PS: notice the purple riding helmet, Isabelle picked it out herself. Purple is her favorite color.





And even more fun than riding? Why, playing in the mud around the barn--in particular the deep, sloppy puddles and mountain of dirty gravel. Yippeee! it's good to be almost 3!






Note that I didn't get true "after" shots -- the ones showing that the water went into her boots and that she fell down 5 times and was coated, and quite happily so, in mud.
