Road Trip back home

We surprised the boys by stopping and staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. We made this into a little birthday surprise for Jake. He really enjoys water parks. Mark and I made reservations and didn't tell them anything until we pulled in. Mark and I were also looking forward to something that would bring us out of the frump we were all feeling. The boys were so excited and our room was big and cozy with a second floor loft. I found a good deal for the stay online and saved a lot. We were at the waterpark a couple hours, then went to eat. The COVID restrictions were just like everything else, they made no sense at all. You were to wear a mask at all times in the hotel and halls. Once in the waterpark you took them off. The waterpark was busy and crowded with kids and families everywhere. There is a definite need for people to get out and try to enjoy life and maybe live a little. There was no social distancing, the lines for the waterslides were crowded and long waits. The lazy river was crowded with people in and out of tubes. We enjoyed it and the boys had fun. I couldn't help but think, if I get COVID, it is going to be from this trip due to three different hotels and a busy waterpark. I know there are people that would never dream of doing such thing for fear of covid or would look down upon us for not hiding in our homes and wearing masks in public.

One of Jayden's friends knew what she was going through and talked her into going to a barrel race. It was a good distraction and nice that she had a friend to be with. They went to Kansas and ran at a Cancer benefit. You could run in memory or honor of someone. Jayden ran in memory of Aunt Alice. She made a really good run on Joker. Alice was with Jayden when she found Joker and she thinks of that often. Today she made a great run for Alice.

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.
