Minnesota




I loaded the kids up and headed to my parents where we all rode together to Minnesota. Today was a last minute decision. I was supposed to take Jayden to a 4-H horse show, however when I heard the heat index for the day was 105, I decided the trip to Minnesota would be nicer. It was also my Dad’s birthday and a family reunion. We were pretty cozy driving up and only added about an hour onto the trip in extra scenic routes and maybe missing our turn. My Aunt Rose had a really good BBQ lunch at 2 and family all got together. We were celebrating the triplets 60th birthdays from March. Dean has round the clock care and doesn’t leave his room very much. He has a new pump that is supposed to help with relaxing the muscles. Rose never ceases to amaze me with all that she does and all that she can handle.
The boys and I stayed in a hotel, went swimming before going to bed. Jayden went with Uncle Wade and Carina to the waterpark hotel they were staying in. The next morning we had our continental breakfast with Aunt Rose. It was so good to see her and the rest of the family.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
