This morning, we went ice skating from 10:30 to noon. We needed to allow enough time to get gas on the way and be ready to get on the ice at 10:30 so that Kevin wouldn't lose any precious moments of skating time. There were no "cages" for beginning skaters to use which was a blessing! Without that crutch available, Kevin was able to advance in his abilities. Even though this is only his third time on the ice this summer, he ended the morning being more proficient than he ended last summer! This morning he did turns and skated faster than before. He wanted me to take a video to send to Mom and Dad! Which I did, and they were impressed!
We were on a very cold pad, and both of us were freezing before our time was up. We left 15 minutes early, and stopped at a Tim Horton's for some lunch before driving to the horse stables. Yes! We went horseback riding today! :)
I wondered if Kevin would be afraid of the horses up close, and fearful of riding one. But he was not! He was surprised at how bumpy it is to ride a horse.
Petting my horse.
He rode Speckles, and I was on C.J.
He loved it when his horse trotted up hills! He had no fear!
He had a wonderful time and experience!
Grandma was silly enough to come with only plastic money which they don't accept, so they kept my Health Card while I drove to the nearest town for cash. Since it was a hot day, we took time for a DQ as well. He ordered a Banana Split Blizzard while I ordered a Brownie Blizzard. We shared, not being able to decide which was better!
As we drove back onto the stable property, Kevin asked if we could go again! He loved it!
Even though he wanted to ride again, he was eager to get home and relax in front of some cartoons. And Grandma was delighted to curl up for an hour's nap!
Grandma needed to attend a wake this evening, so Laura came to play with Kevin for an hour. She brought him a bug box, he fixed her hair again, and they played hide and seek.
He created a bubble sculpture in his bath tonight.
