Kate's Horse Lessons

Kate LOVES horses, so out of all the activities she had to choose from, she wanted horse lessons.  Although I thought it would be a phase, she still LOVES going after almost a year.  The horse is her teacher's horse.  Her name is Breezy and she's an old, gentle horse.  The pictures are horrible, I know, but we were inside a dusty, dimly-lit barn, so it's the best I could do.

 We had a fun hail storm one September night.  Madsen't were over for dinner, and as they were leaving, it started to hail.  We all sat watching on the front porch until it ended.  The girls were amazed the hail could be so big.  They spent 5 minutes trying to beat each other by finding the biggest hail in the grass.  (Don't look at my UGLY bare-feet in the first picture)
