picking blackberries in Julian

We have a secret spot to pick blackberries in Julian. Here is Calen enjoying the results. We probably picked 8 of the containers that you see in his hand. That is a lot of berries.

First riding lesson

Calen and Mom have been feeding the horses for the last few years. From there, Calen rode ponies in a rink at Victoria Gardens. Riding Roxy was his first time he rode in the open. The instructor was impressed at how well he did. Calen got to hold the reins by himself and ask Roxy to turn, trot, and stop. We were all pleasantly surprised to see that he was ready for lessons.
