... is a darling little white pony that Arianna rode on Wednesday and both Luci and Elise rode today. Luci was supposed to ride at three, but before we left, she said she didn't want to ride horses, so, I got Elise ready just in case with long pants and rain boots. When it was time for Luci's lesson, she was nervous and sunk back in her seat, so I asked Tanja if Elise could go instead, and sure enough, Elise was ready and all smiles. Circle after circle on Kentucky, Elise just grinned, loving every minute of it. After the very first lap around the large arena, Tanja stopped for a moment and said, "She has a new name. Sunshine!" And that's what she called Elise the rest of the afternoon. Eventually, we talked Luci into going on with Elise, and then after a little while, she rode alone. And when it was time to go home, Luci didn't want to get off the horse. She had a great time. Elise is really too young for lessons, but I'll ask if she can have some time to ride too since she loves it so much. Luci's all in now, excited to go back and ride Kentucky again.

Ok, I'm stumped... who's the dancing spider? NONE of us can figure this one out.

The dancing spiders are Luci's, Ari's and my right hands. If I remember correctly, Luci's was kind of aggressive and liked to bite.

LOL... Yeah, you remember correctly. Luci's still likes to bite. LOL. She's the firecracker in this family.
