Great weekend

Hjördís stayed with us this weekend and we decided to try the skiing area in Akureyri. Last time we wanted to do that, it was so stormy, that they didn´t open that day.
Well, we were lucky and Hjördís had her first skiing lessons without us. As she could already break she was soon allowed to go with her group to the small lift and down the beginners slope. Her teacher was really happy how positive she was, always trying her best.
After 2 hours in skiing school Hjördís went twice downhill with us and we could see how much she already had improved in that short time.
She got a "passport" where the teacher crossed with all the things she already can do and the slopes she went down. In the passport was a voucher for a free meal from the kidsmenue in Restaurant Greifinn in Akureyri. I think this is a really nice idea and a nice way to support the young skiers as you get sooooooooooooo hungry after skiing for some time ;-)

Today we had a lazy morning, having late breakfast and then trying to do a 1000 pieces puzzle (still a lot left to do...). After lunch we went to have a look at the mares, youngsters and foals. They were all fine, Pála having fun stealing my glove out of my pocket and waving at the other horses with it. Think she was a bit disappointed that she couldn´t eat it. Embla had a closer look at Hjördís (in fact closer than Hjördís liked) but Sigtýr kept a bit distance, not so sure what to think about her.
Ingólfur took Ösp to Saltvík as she´s starting her training. We already had her inside in autumn 2009, but just really short and didn´t do that much with her then. So in fact he´ll have to start allover again.
Think the highlight of the day was the outsideride on Þokkadís, Maggi´s mare. Hjördís has been riding her inside, but hasn´t gone for an outsideride for very long time. Ingólfur had her on the safetyline and so both could enjoy the ride ;-)
It was a busy but really good weekend!
