4H Horse Show Game Day

Up early and back to the fairgrounds for another hot day of showing. We were so tired and knowing how hot today would get, it was hard to get going this morning. The show started at 9AM. Jayden wasn’t in the first few classes, so that gave her time to saddle up and ride awhile before competing. This was the day to decorate your horse and enjoy all the games classes. Jadyen ran in poles, barrels, flags, jumping figure 8, keyhole, and a one barrel race. She did a great job in everything. She had two very tough competitors that run their horses really fast. Jayden goes at a nice fast lope with Jessie and looked really good. There were several classes she placed second and came really close to winning. She wanted a trophy so badly! It would have made Jayden’s day, week, summer. The sun was hot and the classes were out in the hot sun. Mom, Daddy and Aunt Alice were the only ones to beat the heat and cheer her on. It was nice they could be there. The show moved along quickly in order to get everyone out of the heat, and it was done by 1:30. We cleaned things up and got the horse loaded and on the way home as quickly as we could. Jayden and I took showers at the fairgrounds then waited around in the camper with the A/C. Jaynie and Maggie watched a movie and hung out awhile too. At 5:00 was the awards dinner for the champion 4-Her’s. Any member that received a State Fair award or Champion of a livestock event got to attend. Jayden rode with her cousins and had her dinner. At 6:30 they had the parade of Champions where they announce the kids one by one, 75 in all. Then, finally the 4-H projects are released and everyone rushes home. Whew!! Glad the week is over!!

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.
