We had lovely visitors last weekend, J, with whom I went to college, and his wife M, and their daughter S9. S9 is right in between C10 & Q8 in terms of age, and they all get along great. Honorary cousins!

They made fairy stores ... which they do every time they see each other.

And then Q8 took S9 horseback riding. I want you to note that Q8 is riding bareback. There is a saddlepad on the horse for comfort ... but no saddle, no stirrups!
