Well it's been a fun week here in the Halsted household. Wednesday Kaitlyn had her horse back lessons. She has been riding a different horse ( Twinkie ) because Ben, her usual horse, is hard to get into a canter. Last week she rode Twinkie, it had been since last winter that she rode him. They were getting used to each other. This week they were both more comfortable with each other and Kaitlyn was able to get Twinkie into a canter. My baby was smiling from ear to ear! She has been wanting to canter for months. She did a few circles around the arena and of course mom forgot the camera! I'm so proud of her. She really is becoming a wonderful rider and I am beginning to realize that her comfortableness on a horse comes from the interaction she has with that horse and spending time with it. I see a friendship growing between these horses and her.
On Thursday Grace had a hockey game. It was a great game. One that was very evenly matched. Grace is starting to find her place out there on the ice and getting after the puck. At one point she stopped the puck, looked up to see where her team mates were, passed it to another girl and that girl scored. It was SO exciting to see!! The funny thing was when the game was over and I went to the locker room I told Grace "Congrats on getting an assist" and she didn't even realize it!!
What a fun week!! Our girls are the BEST!!!
