Horsin' Around

Natalie's back in the saddle again---for summer physical therapy! She started hippotherapy last summer, and she loved it so much, we knew she HAD to try it again this summer. Her beautiful horse, Lucy, takes her around the arena with the help of physical therapist, Nancy. We haven't seen Nancy since Natalie started school, so it's nice to spend time with her again. She is a big believer in the therapeutic benefits of horseriding for kiddos like Natalie.

Here she is, leaving the barn on her horse, Lucy:

She has great posture when sitting on the horse!

They do fun little games each time around the track. She doesn't stop smiling the whole time! I love my girl!

Here are some pictures from her first time back at horse therapy. Note the adorable shirt made by Auntie Carolyn---with horses all over it! So cute...

Calvin loves to watch his big sister ride the horsey...

...but it can be very tiring!!! :)

Speaking of tiring...the morning spent at school is exhausting for Natalie. She comes home a little after noon and is ready to nap with Daddy. I love getting pictures of the two of them sleeping together. It's so sweet!

We are getting ready for our week-long vacation in Minnesota. It looks as though the weather will be much better than last year...YAY! A week spent outside by the lake is just what the doctor ordered for Natalie. Expect many more pictures in the weeks to come. Thanks for stopping by!!
