Horse Encounter

Little Noodle loves the drive to the lake, her favorite part is when we drive by the farms because she knows she will see horses. As soon as I mention "Lago", she comes back with "Horsies." 

Right before we arrive, we pass a few farms and most times the horses are visible from the road. 

Saturday morning Daddy parked the car next the fence and the horses came to great us. 

Petting the horse 

Horsie liked Goldfish

Horsie wanted more Goldfish

And to complement what already was a thrilling experience for Noodle, it turned out one of the horses was a dancer.

The horse encounter turned into a lesson on counting (Noodle can count up to 11 in Spanish, but she doesn't understand what it really means. For instance if there are 3 items she could count up to 4 or up to 6 or up to whatever number until she gets distracted).  We have also been working on her colors and since we had 3 horses of different colors, it became a lesson on colors as well. 

We were fortunate none of the horses decided to Pee in front of Noodle. A few weeks back, we had gone to the County Fair and as Noodle was chatting with a cow, the cow urinated in front of her. It has been weeks and she still talks about it, she still says "Pee pee Vaca."
