Hero

S. has been asking to ride a horse at Aunt B.'s stables, and I. made it clear that he would like to go also. Today at 3pm it happened! Both kids were very excited and looked forward to it all week. At the stables, they listened to and followed instructions, so I think they might be invited back. In interviews afterwards, I. said he enjoyed it; S. didn't answer, but I think she was just concentrating so hard during the experience that she doesn't really know yet if she enjoyed it --- she'll take some time to process it, and we'll know in a day or two.

This horse is said to like taking little kids, and is very patient and cautious with them. His name is Hero ... and hero he is in our eyes!
