Okoboji Day 4


 Morning of crafts, then we headed to Arnold’s Park. Instead of buying an all day pass and spending too much money, we bought a few passes for the raceway and a couple bumper car rides. It was just enough for us all to enjoy. We got to the speedway first thing and had the track to ourselves. We made tons of laps, I think they weren’t keeping track since we were the only ones going. The second race there was a crowd and people drive crazy, bump into you and cut you off. I had Luke with me and Mark had Jake and Jayden got her own car. It was fun. We also let Jayden and Jacob ram into each other in bumper cars, burn off some sibling anger.  In the afternoon we enjoyed more volleyball and swimming in the outdoor pool. For dinner we went our to a restaurant that had a live band playing 50’s music. Luke got the groove again and couldn’t help but dance. He even went on the dance floor with his sister and mom.
To end our night we finished with a game of mini golf. What a fun place, the theme was pirates
 and they had some really fun obstacles. This was one of the highlights for the kids.

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.
