A couple of short trips with family!
Here are some of Sandy and Al's babies! CUTE!
We spend Labor Day weekend with Sandy, Al and some of their horses (there were some of their riding friends also) at the Togo horse camp—it’s only about 50 miles from our place. We went riding several times—they have a new horse for those of us ‘non-riders’. She’s a PasoFino named Feliz. Sandy keeps bragging about how smooth riding Paso’s are—and I was surprised at how quickly we moved without trotting. They just walk faster.
Sandy brought a little mini pony for her friend Susie. It was fun to watch her take it for a walk with her dog every morning and evening. Another person there was Beth Ann, who is so funny. When she was growing up, she loved horses so much that she pretended to be a horse all the time—even having her friends over to eat oatmeal out of a bowl on the floor. She can gallop like a horse and rear up and kick. She kept us in stitches—we laughed until our sides hurt.
On Saturday, Kara and Paul came and rode with us. Paul said that he could get hooked on horseback riding—and he was on a quarter horse, so he was trotting while everyone else was on Pasos—smoothly gliding along.
The next weekend, we went to Fargo, because Pam was there with her mother. Mom went with us and we had a great time swimming with Tracy and Tucker and visiting with Tammy, Steve, Pam and Margaret. It was a fun time seeing family that we don’t see too often—and Tracy and Tucker are really a couple firecrackers.
I’m way behind with my travel stories—so be prepared.
