Black Friday

Black Friday has started on Thanksgiving morning these days. It is quite sad how the shopping frenzy is shadowing Thanksgiving. I do't see the thrill in shopping in mobs of crazy people just to save a few bucks. With family in town for Thanksgiving I planned a fun kid friendly outing. Those that did not shop met in Ames at the theater for the movie Frozen. Lori, Jaynie,Rylie, Karly, Kalra, Kellie, and my kids all went to the movie. I think thet movie was fabulous and it is now my favorite Disney movie ever. We all enjoyed it very much. I was so nervous with Karla being there, but she did not have any seizure trouble thankfully. Next we all went to Hickory Park where Suzy, Abby, and Kellie's friend Duane met us. It was a good time and fun with family. Everyone headed to Melinda's for soup supper and stayed until late that evening. Back home I discovered Darrell and Lauren brought their dogs to stay with them. I was ok with dogs in kennels, but when we all got back in the evening, they let them loose in my house. They began running through my living room, Ahh!  I kindly asked them to keep them off my carpet and downstairs. When we heard they were bringing dogs, they assured us they would be in kennels. That was not the case. You would not believe the dog hair after only 2 days of stay.

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.
