When I Grow Up

Lilly had career day at school last week.  As a part of their career unit, Lilly had to research and create a project on a career that she would like to be when she grows up.  Her immediate choice was to be a horseback rider.  I tried to explain that it is near impossible to make horseback riding a career; that in fact is usually costs money to ride horse and rarely do people make money riding horses.  Nonetheless, Lilly decided she wanted to be a horseback rider when she grows up, so we researched.  She asked her Aunt Kimmy lots of questions and we visited the Cordillera Stables in Edwards and did all kinds of research.  We talked with Ms. Rebecca who owns several ponies, we talked to a vet who was working on a horse, and we watched a farrier shoe a horse.  Her project and her presentation were a big success.  She did an amazing job and was confident and proud of herself.  We were so proud too! 

 Dressed from head to toe and ready for her presentation.

 All set up and presenting her project to inquiring guests.

One more picture, but if you look really close you can see a hole where Lilly's tooth used to be!  She literally lost her first tooth that morning on a field trip to the dentist's office!
