Confirmation and dressage competition

Time for an update of what we have been doing lately! First of all two weeks ago we went on our friends' sons confirmation. They got confirmated in different churches, but celebrated together afterwards with a very nice lunch in a lovely restaurant. We had a good time and their relatives from Finland and Sweden were so nice. The weather was rainy in the morning when we got to the church, but then it stopped, luckily.

There was a play ground and a football field and luckily the sun started shining, so after lunch the children could play outside. Daniele and Marco going towards the football field


Carlotta and the flowers. She loves flowers!

Last week-end me and Sofia participated in a dressage competition together with Sofias friends. It was very exciting and we had a good time! More photos on my horse blog.

May day

Horse friends

What a lovely week-end we had. On the first of May we went to the mountains in Ovindoli and had a nice day out with friends. The weather was fantastic and everything was green. We had a good meal at a trattoria and then we went out on a horse ride and Carlotta rode a small pony called Azzurra. Afterwards our friends invited us to their house in a small village called Luco dei Marsi and we stayed there and had an other nice meal and chatted till it was time to get back to Rome again. Lots of eating, laughing and fresh air - is there anything better than that?
