No school for the kids today. Kyle was off at Great Wolf Lodge with a friend and his family (who chose to take Kyle to GWL with their family instead of a birthday party!). The girls and I had a nice relaxing day...baking pumpkin chocolate chip mini-muffins, having a picnic lunch while watching The Lion King and playing outside with the neighbours.
Afterwards it was time for Jillian's riding lesson. Today was filled with firsts...first time wearing Nana's riding helmet (with added padding and adjusted straps it fits nicely), cantering around the whole arena, jumping her first jump and finally, her first fall...YIKES! Jillian was at the far side of the arena and I could see her slipping down sideways as the horse was taking the corner. Thankfully it wasn't a hard fall, she slipped sideways and rode that way for a few seconds before falling onto the ground as the horse stopped. Thankfully today she was on a small horse. As I was hyperventillating I could hear Jillian laughing and as she stood up she said "that was fun!"...crazy girl! I was so proud of her for getting right back up on the horse without any hesitation. Later in the lesson she started slipping again but managed to get a good hold on Shimmer's neck and got herself back into the saddle. It was an exciting fourth riding lesson!
