Our days have been filled with horse back lessons and hockey practices/games. Kaitlyns horse instructor moved all her horses for the winter to another barn with an indoor arena. This is a different one from last year and I have to say a much better one! The barn is attached to the arena so we don't have to walk in the blowing snow any more! All the horses are making the adjustment very well and everyone seems to like the new place. Kaitlyn has moved from riding our beloved Benny to Twinkie. Twinkie is the first horse Kaitlyn rode when she got here. She is preparing to learn how to canter on Twinkie along with getting used to riding a different horse. Something her instructor and I felt Kaitlyn needed to do. It's important to try out different horses and learn how to adjust yourself to their "quirks". We are hoping this next coming week Kaitlyn will be able to try a canter.
We have also begun our hockey season with Grace. She has had a few practices and this weekend had two games. It was so fun to see her back out on the ice and I have to say she looks GREAT out there. Her confidence this year is so high and she really is getting to understand the game. Another added bonus is Matt is helping coach her team. She is loving having her Papa on the beach next to her. Her game yesterday they got stomped. That team has been on the ice a month longer than us so they had a better "feel" then us who have only had a few practices. Today's game was SO awesome!!! The girls played so great and it was more evenly matched. Very fast paced and everyone come out with their game on! Grace played so well and is getting more aggressive out there going after the puck. We are so proud of our Pee Wee Tiverton Thunder girls!!!
Here are a few pictures and videos from this past week. As time goes on I will keep you posted on how the girls are doing. It's a busy time of year but it is also a very fun one. Who knows, you may hear about Matt and I out there playing a little pick up hockey. We are going out tonight to check it out and see if it is something I would like to do or not. Just not sure but who knows!!
