It was a snowy, cold day and I shoved these fleece insoles in the bottom of my boots. I see them everywhere so I thought I'd try them out - now maybe standing at a barn for a couple of hours isn't a true test - but they just didn't seem to keep my little toes any warmer. Now you might wonder why we'd be standing at a horse barn for a couple of hours....but a 'mom has to do - what a mom has to do' (especially when you move a 'tween' away from all of her friends and her favorite barn in the universe (if I had a euro for every time I hear that...) Actually what better love affair for Hannah to have then with horses.....it's really a parents dream. I still haven't developed that true love affair...but seeing her ride just warmed my heart (but not my feet). Horses in this part of Germany seem to be everywhere (if I had a euro for every time I've hear that - well you know), but most are privately owned. We drove down these beautiful winding roads until we found the stable. They don't call them barns in Germany...they call them stables. It's 12th century....and absolutely gorgeous....so with the new camera in tow here are a few shots.
It was so nice to see a smiling face.....even though we were all freezing - it's all worth it! And check out this picture of the 'black dog' - there's one in every part of the world.
