Okoboji Day 3

We start each morning with the resort craft of the day. Today they also had free fishing for the kids. Luke was the only one to catch a fish, he was pretty excited.




              We spent a large part of the day at the beach and in the water again. I brought subway sandwiches to the beach for lunch. Boat rides are included in our stay at Fillenworth, so today Mark went on a sail boat.








 After cleaning up, the kids and I went to a pottery shop that was across the street from our room. I let each of the kids paint and decorate their very own ice cream bowl. They worked on their creation and really enjoyed it.  They were heated overnight for us and were ready to take home the next day. We were proud of our pottery.
We took an afternoon cheese and cracker boat cruise.  We went to a nice restaurant for pasta night. We catch some Olympics each night before crawling in bed.

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.
