Girl Scout Ride n Swim ~



 On Thursday we had a Ride n' Swim at Western Ridge with our troop.  Summer is difficult to plan any adventures, as the kids are on vacation all over the place, so we weren't sure if we would be able to put this together, but we finally managed it and the kids had a great time!  We didn't get to do this last year, so the girls were very excited to do it this year!  Our first group of riders were Serenity, Jordyn, Kit Kat, Kelsey and me.

They dont allow you to take photos during the ride (as a rider),  so you'll just have to trust me that the ride was beautiful!  Wild flowers all over the place...lovely terrain, and of course a few stubborn horses.  My horse, Thor, thought he had to eat every 2 minutes, and Serenitys horse Daisy, was having gas issues (and yes, I was stuck behind her horse)   :)

 Jordyn enjoyed some quality time with Cajun, while the next group of kids suited up for the ride!


Then it was time for the pool!  The clouds rolled in and it cooled off a bit, but the kids didn't seem to mind....blue lips and all!  We had a few siblings join us for the pool, and the kids played for hours.

 For lunch we enjoyed pizza, and as the afternoon cooled off, we called it a day!  What a great time we all had!  Thank you for a fabulous time as always Western Ridge....you guys ROCK!

Fencing Lessons ~

 Jordyn received a fencing sword from Justin at Christmas but they have yet to get the gear out to give it a try, so today they gave it a go.  You can see how he instills safety, as they fence without the proper gear (is she wearing pajamas?), no gloves, and hell, she isn't even wearing shoes!  But it was fun just the same!
 She had fun learning some moves from Daddy, and they are excited to continue on with lessons.  I guess that means i better make her some gear!  Isn't summer wonderful!?!
