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.
Productive day… Luke spent the night at my parents,
the others were in school. I scrubbed my kitchen floor, on hands and knees. I cooked tomatoes and made homemade salsa. The sun
was shinning and warm, so I took a nice ride in the field and ran a few barrels
on Traveler. I made lunch and took it to the field and did all of this before
noon. Next I cleaned Dakota's messy stall, fed her and headed to Dayton to pick
up Jake and head to Blairsburg for Jayden’s volleyball game at 4. It was the first time in 19 years that I have been back inside my old high school gym. Carina and Alivia gave us a tour of the new elementary. Wow, it has really changed. The high school just combined with Webster City and the elementary size classes are really falling.I am not sure how they will keep it going. The school brought back a lot of memories and it was neat to see old teachers still there, Mrs. Greenfield-band teacher, Mr. Meyer-math teacher, Mrs-Smith 5th grade teacher and volleyball coach who is till coaching!. The girls played a good game and Jayden had an audience of the Wahlert's. Mawgee took some great photos of Jayden during her game. She is pretty serious and her face expression shows it. She scored some good points on her serves.
