Jubilee Trail Ride & Water Fun at Amy's

While we were walking Karin and Shaeya worked with Valiant this morning. 

 He was very well behaved. 

 She then took the golf cart over to the cabin and got Sangria, Sally and Cookie, tacked them up then tacked up Brista and loaded all 4 into the stock trailer for the big trail ride today at Jubilee State Forest. Below they are just pulling out.

Today they rode all the way to Lover's Leap and didn't get lost.

She said the ride was fun, lots of galloping and all of the horses did well. This ride was just for the gaited horses, no clumpy Friesians to slow them down.
On Wednesday's Amy Beth invites everyone over to her lake for swimming. They have a wonderful water slide, plenty of paddle boats and the biggest draw of all is the rope tow for wake boarding or body surfing. The grand children had an absolutely wonderful time and came home exhausted.

 Baby Iris almost slept through the entire fun schedule. 

They were joined by lots of their second cousins. There are always lots of kids to play with in a big extended family.

We had to do some juggling of trailer hitches but got all the right hitches on both trucks and the van for the big camp-out happening tomorrow at Mark Twain lake. Dan is taking his boat and camping trailer so he needed 2 trucks, Rachel is taking her boat and camping trailer and she needed 2 trucks, Sarah and Nolan are taking our camper and van. They have a big group going and it should be a ball. Sarah picked up the big slabs of bacon at Rabers for their cookouts each night. It looks like the weather will be perfect.  We had a big group for dinner and just picked up turkey torpedoes from LaGondola for dinner and served that with chips and fruit.  The last of the company left around 7:00 pm so Mark and I listened on line to church tonight. Greg Rumbold had the message and started out by saying those that can't be here and are listening on-line are missing out on all the happy smiles.
