Olympics and Horses



The Lee Olympics were on Friday March 31st this year. What fun, what fun. Each year the school gets all the kids together and they compete in events like the bean bag throw, the three legged race, and the older kids have the long jump and other track and field events. This is our second Lee Olympics, and they are just too much fun.

Today, we went and visited Golden Vista Equestrian Center. Emma is going to be attending a 2 week day-camp here this summer. She has some friends who take riding lessons, and has always been interested in horses, though she's also been a bit afraid of them. We haven't been able to afford for her to take lessons every week, but thought we would be able to send her to a 2 week camp.



Golden Vista was having an open house today, so we went to check it out. It seems like a pretty nice place. I know nothing about this sort of thing, but we spoke with the lady in charge, and she seemed to know what she was talking about. They learn alot while they're at camp, and spend lots of time grooming, cleaning up after, and generally looking after their horse, in addition to riding it. We met some girls who had been going there for a few years, and they seemed amazingly comfortable with the horses and were great at putting Emma, and us, at ease.

There are more horse pics on my Family Photos page.
