Center Grove Apple Orchard

We love going to the orchard! This fall has been just perfect for outdoor activities!! Our season passes have been well worth the money! We love meeting Denise Fick and her girls there!! More pics to come!!

Willie WON the 3d saddle!!!

I started out the barrel racing season with a lame horse, Iris, and had to put her down due to a horrible injury. Then, I bought a new horse, Willie, a horse that I have had my eye on for at least 2 years!! I must have known long ago what a cool horse he was!! Him and I had a great season together, starting 1/2 way through!! He took me to the top of the 3d in the D4 NBHA district! He will win his first saddle!! I am so blessed to have Willie in my life!! What a great horse he is!! A heart the size of Texas!! He takes great care of me!!

Adventureland 2010....HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

Despite a temp of 95 and a Heat index of 112, the kids still had a great time!! Lots of water and some water rides kept us cool!! Kaya was so excited because she was tall enough to ride the Outlaw and Tornado!! Clay was excited to ride the rides with cousin Dan!! Both Clayton and Kaya want to go back on a 'cooler' day!

Mike having a blast....!!!

Mike hasn't picked up a rope in 15 years and this weekend they had a benefit for Tad Legget at the Maxwell Rodeo pen. Mike entered the roping and made it to the short go with 2 other guys!! He is having a total BLAST!!! The kids were soooo excited to see their dad actually rope and CATCH!!! He was so grateful for the use of this GREAT horse!!

So cute!!!

Kaya's kitten, Lilly, sleeping in the baby carrier!! Such a sweet kitten!!!

Trip to the zoo.....

Lisa and I took the kids to the zoo and had a really good time!!! Next week we are going to the Science Center!! I looked at a calender and realized summer break was almost over and we really haven't done much besides ride horses, swim, and a couple weekends we camped in the trailer. I have a feeling the next 3 weeks are going to be crazy!!!

All 4 kids wanted to ride the camel at once!! Marshall, Morgan, Kaya, and Clayton!!

The baby camel wanted to kiss Kaya!! LOL
