This post starts us off at the RCMP stables. They offer free tours of the facility that includes a small museum and a gift shop. Of course the horses are the best part!
The officers that make the musical ride are posted here for 3 years. They have over 96 horses they work with at this facility and they are all beautiful animals.
This horse is named Sammie and he was really sweet with Sid. She could have spent hours standing there stroking his soft nose. She has now decided that riding lessons are in her future!
Easter Sunday was started early by the pad of little feet running to our bedroom! "Mom! Dad! Get up!!! It's Easter!" The bunny made it in and out once again without being eaten by the dogs. The eggs where well hidden and this year Sid had to really look to find some of them!
Easter isn't complete without a special get together with the MacNeill / Brady clan. Brunch with her cousins is the highlight of Sid's day. The parents sure enjoy the time too :)
Sid and Julia have a special bond. These girls can play together for hours!
Grandmama enjoying her family!
Uncle Dirk and his girls.
Sid and Emilie having their special time together. Cousins are just the best thing (after chocolate) ;)
My hockey and soccer is on hiatus for a month and with little to do in the evenings I have found myself back to felting! This beehive mobile was created for new baby Sebastien born Thursday April 12th!
I saw a really cute stuffed polar bear and was inspired to create these two little guys. Mom and baby polar bear having a cuddle!
Lastly the karate is intense as always. Sid is still attending 4 - 5 classes a week and hasn't lost her love of the art. We are still waiting to hear if anyone is going to London on the 21st. A few people have been invited but we are not sure if enough are going yet. In any case they are all training for a local tournament on May 6th.
Kicking target practice while moving across the club.
Sid sitting in her full splits waiting for her turn. Look at her feet all the way out to the sides. OUCH!
As she tags her friend Reece in the head, you you can see why the splits are so important.
Reece's turn and Sid is ready for it! They are practicing kicking each other in the head with control. The contact is minimal and a very soft touch but the girls can get a bit carried away :)
Reece doesn't have quite as far to kick. Height is a definite advantage!
These two work really well together and challenge each other. It is awesome that Reece lives so close to us. These two are going to have a fabulous summer grappling and sparring around the yard!
Off to Karate but will post more pictures of our week outdoors later today or tomorrow!
