Summer Events

Summer is here and we are feeling the heat. We, as in Matthew's family, have already done some camping this year. Megan and Michael just love it, and Mom and Dad would love it more if they would take a nap willingly. Yeah right huh! Thursday; Megan, Michael, myself and a friend and her son went swimming at the new pool in town. It goes from zero depth on up. The little end have sprinkler area, an umbrella water feature, and a slide for little tykes. The other end has a big double slide (that Megan and I went on) and a curvy slide. It also has a basketball area and swim lanes. It's really cool. Megan liked the little water slide, Michael was happier playing with his spin toy. Matthew has been keeping busy with, well everything. He is trying to find the best place for a shed as we speak. I am booked at the salon the next couple of weeks. If there is any free time, I have worked with some training skills on Lucky, or just been trying to catch up on everyday chores. This summer still brings, Karla and Brandon's baby shower tomorrow, a trip to Vegas in July, and possibly a wedding in Chicago the first of August, along with Michael's 2nd Birthday. I will have to keep you posted as my summer happens.

Here are some pictures of the kids and myself riding horses with Brandon and Karla. As you can see Megan thinks she is an expert. Doesn't she look cute in her get-up?! The brown horses' name is Comet and the lighter colored horse is Chica. I think someday Karla will teach Megan how to ride well. One day here a while back Matthew's brother came over to get the saddle and briddle to move another horse, and Megan precided to explain to him how to make the horse go. It was so cute; she is such a fast learner. Megan got her own horse for her 3rd birthday. It is a paint and is only 1 this April. Next year Lucky (as she calls him) will be old enough to ride; only after Karla trains him. Lucky will get as big a Comet once he is full grown. I think Mom is more excited than she is right now about that.
