Open Barn Day

 Philadelphia had a barn day on Saturday. There are about 6 or so horse barns around Fairmount Park (which spans an enormous area). Each one was open for tours, demonstrations, games and more. We visited one near the Wissahickon river trail called Monastery Stables, off of Kitchens Lane.
We had a great time, Lilia was beyond excited. They have a saddle club for kids and immediately was begging me to join. She's even asking when we can go back. Oh boy - I think we have a true horse lover on our hands!

 Believe it or not, the pet portrait function on my camera takes the best pictures of the kids, especially in motion. If that is an option on your camera, give it a try. You may be pleasantly surprised!
