Wow...So Far Behind!

This summer has been insanely busy...I have been a terrible blogger.  Now that school is about to start back, I should be able to blog regularly again.  I will try to fill everyone in on what I have been up to this summer.  First, we took a family trip to Oklahoma.  My husband is from there and most of his family had not gotten the chance to meet Jacob. Here are a few pictures from our trip.







I have also had two summer camps.  Our first camp was a week long camp.  The second was a 3 day camp.  Each time we had riders at every level.  We learned equine anatomy, saddle parts, some groundwork, and basic horsemanship.  Each day we rode and swam.  Everyone learned lots.



I have also been asked to help with the local 4H group.  It is a startup group with children aged 8-19.  A few of the children are my students, but for the most part they are complete beginners.  I am looking forward to watching the children grow and become horsemen.

We also took a family trip to the beach.  Jacob had never been, it was a learning experience.  I think we will wait awhile before we head back to the beach.  Here are a few pictures.



Well school starts Wednesday so hopefully I will get back on a decent schedule.  Happy riding!
