Great Weekend!

So, Kristy and Dallin were down for a couple of days...and it was a lot of fun. RJ was here, too, at least for Sunday! Hooray!!

Sunday dinner was lots of fun with the "lower half" of the family. Missed the "upper half!" who missed a good laugh at Nat's and RJ's expense. Just ask Nat sometime about what constitutes a good seatbelt... Her reaction was better than the story!! I'm surprised that jello wasn't spurted out of a bunch of mouths we were all laughing so hard!

From Labor Day Weekend

After dinner we had "music time" with everyone enjoying singing Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and playing violin stuff, too.
After all of the fun, and loading up on homemade bread and biscuits, Dal and Kristy headed back up north, and RJ had to head back to Ephraim.
Today Nat, Mil, Hans, Dad and I went to Pine Valley for the afternoon. It was an incredible day! We took 5 horses out and really enjoyed being together, even when Brown Jug tripped, went down on his front legs and pitched Hans forward. Hans handled it beautifully as he quickly scrambled (army crawled) off his horse before the horse got back up on his feet (hooves). He gets the "Amazing Rider" award for the day!!

Brown Jug cut himself a few different places on his legs but wasn't too worse for the wear. Nat was riding Misty bareback, but after the fall, she transferred Hans' saddle to Misty, Hans rode Misty back, and Nat finished riding Brown Jug bareback because he was kinda shaking after his fall.

When we were all done we loaded up 5 of the horses to bring home to be shod, AND to wean Stormy off of Red Star. At least Stormy will be with Zoro and Morning Star in Pine Valley. (Hope she does well!) Then Nat takes Sheldon's 4 horses back to Pine Valley tomorrow. Thank goodness there's been plenty of feed up there for the horses. Free feed is a GOOD thing!!
Thanks for a fun weekend "lower half of the family!!"
Love,
Mom

(the video of Nat is kinda fun...even if it's a bit scriggily!! Don't know what happened in the transfer, cuz it was great on the camera!!)
