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!
