Maui Day 7

On our second snorkel adventure, we found a much quieter area without crashing waves. Again we packed our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch and a bag of chips. We found an area with dark black sand. Entering the water this time was not a challenge without all the waves. The challenge was the coral. Jayden didn't snorkel long because she cut her foot on the coral. Luke went out with me and felt claustrophobic in the water surrounded by the coral. you would swim and become trapped with coral in front of you and beside you and you didn't know which way to go. He didnt like that feeling and was done in a hurry. i liked the coral, it felt like you were swimming through a maze in which you had to make lots of turns. I saw many fish and sea creatures. Mark and Jake went out and out until I could not see them anymore. i was so thankful we rented floaties along with the snorkels because they went so far out. They swam all the way out to the snorkel boats and whale watchers. I was a little nervous until they returned. Later, I pointed out the signs near our car that said, beware of shark. Had he known that I dont think he would have ventured that far. We stayed at the beach and had our little area we ate and sun bathed. The kids made sand creations and watched crab scuttle in and out of their many holes.It was another perfect day in paradise.

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.
