a variety of wheels

Today Lilah got to try out two unusual forms of transportation!

This morning Papie pulled the old moped out of the garage that belonged to my sister and I. (Actually, my sister will probably argue with that and say it was hers...and probably rightly so!) Lilah has always had a fascination with mopeds and motorbikes. In fact, when we went to visit Lilah's orphanage, it seemed that all the nannies and workers in the orphanage had a little moped. There was a little row of them just inside the gates of the orphanage. At the time we visited there must have been a shift change, because all of a sudden all these little engines started up and several little mopeds started whizzing off, out of the yard and down the street!

Lilah loved the moped. I don't think she wanted to get off!

Then this afternoon we went to visit Pa and Na. Pa kindly rigged his horse (Tyson) up with the cart. And off we went down the road for a jaunt!

  1. Maybe you should bring that moped home! It is really cute and looks like a classic.

  2. It looks like Lilah and her Pa are having a great time together! And it looks like she has him wrapped securely around her little finger =).

  4. OMW, I just love your photos. The pony cart photos make me want to jump on an airplane and come to Nirdand - it's just so beautiful!

  5. I'm loving your photos. I've never been to Ireland, but your pictures make it look exactly as I've pictured it. What special memories for your little girl!
