Sylvia Hurlburt (center) is not quite 100% sure about this whole horse thing.
She’s a wee bit more confident these days.
Spreading joy on a trip to Mexico with her church youth group.
Sylvia Hurlburt is a bright, shining star.
Whether operating on the track oval, as a Wolf cheerleader, or as a ballet dancer, the Coupeville High School junior excels at about a billion and a half things.
Plus, she does most of it while sportin’ a mega-watt smile of epic joy.
But there were a few moments, early on, when the smile was just barely beginning to creep out around the edges.
One such sliver of time is depicted in the first photo above, which captures Miss Hurlburt when she was still Lil’ Miss Hurlburt.
You can see the smile coming, but there’s a wee bit of “what was I thinking getting up here in the first place” also on her face.
No worries. The smile won out in the end.
