An old picture of me:

(I’ve posted this before…)  I was in the fourth grade when this picture was taken. I used to participate in a sport called vaulting. It is doing tricks on the back of a horse while the horse trots or canters around in a circle. It’s like what you see in a circus. It was really exciting being on the back of a tall horse. This horse’s name was Belle. She was a Percheron, which is a breed of horse. Percheron horses are very strong and used to be used to plow fields.

Fun (and gross) fact: The average human eats 8 spiders in their lifetime at night.

This is a picture of me when I was a little girl. I’m sitting on my father’s knee and my mom is standing next to us. We are not wearing costumes. My little suit was made by my grandmother out of a patchwork quilt. My mother made her own dress. My mom still lives in the house. We are standing in front of our fireplace. It is warm and cozy on chilly days.

Fun fact: Despite the white, fluffy appearance of the fur of a Polar Bear, it actually has black skin.
