Therapeutic Riding Program

Adam started a 6 week program at UNH to ride a horse with assistance. 
The goal of the program is increase core strength and body tone, plus increase oral motor skills.   They allow them to fully control the horse by the end if he wants to.   It needs to be prescribed by a doctor.

Golden Dragons

After a fun but long day we all went to see the Chinese acrobats at UNH.   You would never have known my kids had so many big things all earlier, they were sooooo good and focused on the show.  (Belt graduation, birthday party, Durham Day, Mass)   we all had favorite parts but the handout was the man who stacked the chairs on top of another and kept doing hand stands on them.  He got 6 chairs high and we were pretty impressed.

Belt Graduation

Katies first belt advancement, she goes to yellow.  My big Adam goes to blue, WOW!

Hike at Northwoods Meadows

Small state park nearby.  Beth and Adams favorite part was seeing turtles sunning themselves on the log in the middle of the pond.  Katie's favorite was all the friendly dogs we met.  Caleb liked climbing over the big boulders.  Tuck found a bright yellow mushroom that he had never seen before.  Fished at at nearby clam shack and ice cream place, Yum!
