Horseback riding with Teacher Jane!

Teacher Jane was Gavin's very first teacher, and she is very special to us. Gavin loves her so much. This year at the Mountain School Auction, Cristina (Evangelina's mom) and I decided to go for the 'Pony ride with Teacher Jane' experience. We got it, and I am so glad we did! Both Gav and Evangelina got to go for a beautiful ride today up in Woodside. It was a very pretty walk, and the kids did great! (Cristina and I both agreed that it was a nice workout for us to hike up the hill!) The best quote was from Gavin on the way up. "You know I was a little nervous that I was going to be scared, but its not scary at all. Its so easy! I love to ride the horse!" 

We stopped at the top, under the shade of the trees and Jane had packed a picnic. The kids sat and talked to Jane for a bit and then climbed the trees. Not to mention there was a gorgeous view too. 

Once we got back, Chris (Jane's cousin, the owner of the horses) invited the kids to walk around to see her property. It has a little pond that they were so fascinated with. Both Gavin and Evangelina loved to help scoop out the algae....go figure, such Mountain School kids!
