Bella - Day 6/7

I wish we would have remembered the camera tonight when we went for the carriage ride. We first took Bella just in the general vicinity of the horses to gauge her reaction. Bella looked like a little bunny rabbit with her nose twitching. The carriage driver had to let us know if it was OK for Bella to ride because they weren't sure how the horses would react, but she was being so polite just sitting there almost like a child saying "please, please, I'll be good, I swear!" So the driver said, sure.

She was a little unsure at first when the carriage started to move, but we tucked some blankets around her, and she got comfy and everyone in the carriage was petting her (it was more like a small horse-drawn wagon) and she rode just fine. Since we didn't have a camera, one of the gals in charge of the horses took a picture of her in the carriage and they are going to send it to the Oregon newspaper--if it gets published, we will send you a copy! Oh, and in the restaurant, the middle school choir came in caroling, it was quite an adventure for all of us tonight.

I also worry about Bella going down the stairs. I thought she was going to run into the wall at the bottom or go tumbling. If she is moving, she has no other speed but fast. She's so funny! We forgot to tell you, we took Bella sled riding when we took our Goddaughters, and took her for a ride down the hill with Jeff in a sled--she practically jumped on his head, she was not at all thrilled with that ride. Since our Goddaughters are so little, 2 and 4, the hill was not very steep at all, but Bella wanted none of it.
