D did great in 4-h. So did P. Between both of them classes, record books, open classes and everything, there was only one red ribbon. Everything else was blue. Pretty great. We had a good 1st year and we will be doing it next year. D was in the top 8 of her halter class,pretty good for about 30 kids. She got to go back in and that was fun. She did good riding too. Lambs they had a great time. I don't have any pictures of P but he did showtoo. D was doing really good in her lamb showmanship and he started rearing and bucking so she got flustered and started crying but she got it together and did good. They had a good time so hopefully we are life long 4-hers because it is a great thing.
We had a tea party on our computer keyboard on the way to Seattle so I am just now getting to blog. I will try to blog a few times in the next few days (in between naps and pain meds) and catch up summer. We had such a great time in Washington and Oregon. J rode the STP Seattle to Portland. 204 miles in one day about 14 hours with feed stops. He rode with 3 brothers, a nephew, and 2 other somehow related family. We got to follow them from stop to stop and we had a great time. There are 9,993 other crazy people that want to ride that far also but about 3/4 of them do it in 2 days. I can't imagine getting back in the saddle after a 100 mile ride just do it all in one day. They had a great time. We drove along the coast to go back to J and B house. We went on the ocean in J boat one day and to the lake the next. We ate fresh berries till we were sick, some of us more literally than others. We had such a great vacation. It was so fun to see where his brother and his family live and to stay with them. They are awesome hosts. I am still amazed 204 miles in one day by choice? Whatever makes your wheels go round honey, Good job.
