Horseback riding

One of the things I did with the kids this year is the five of us went horse back riding. This was the first time for me and the kids. Brendan was a pro. The one thing he said to me was make sure you stirups are good before we ride. Since I never have been on a horse for more than tpo go around the stall at the fair. It seemed pretty good. The horseback riding was done up by Bear lake and it was wonderful. Matt screamed because he was having way to much fun and like his mother he is really loud. But he had a great time. The ride was 1 hour but really more like a 1 1/2 causesome of us had a hard time controlling the animals. But it went pretty well until I noticed my knees were killing me. It was getting worse and i started to wrooy that I wouldnt be able to get off the horse. Then towards the end of the beautiful ride the guide stops us and tells us to really keep the animal under control because if they start running now we wont be able to stop them. O K that was really scary and considering i knew me knees werent goning to hold me I knew I was in trouble. How do I save my child that keeps gigglng and screaming with joy and then myself from falling off the horse!!!! Wasnt gonna happen. Once we got back a good boy friend would get off his horse and come help his girlfriend but NO he walks the other direction. So I did what I had to do, According to some real cowboys I Indian off the horse, which is sliding off the opposite side. I was sore for days and my knee still hurts. But I will defiantly do it again. We loved it

For all of you that thought I fell off the Earth, I didnt Im still here taking some much needed break from everything. Well the summer is finally over and kids are back in school and all I can say is yippeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! I love school kids arent home no one is calling me fighting over who ate the last fruit snacks that were really theirs because they put their imaginary name on it when I brought home the box back 2 weeks ago, etc, etc, etc. But its over and I couldnt be more excited. I know I should feel sad that my kids are growing up too fast and blah blah blah, but I cant wait till I can hang out with my kids and have a great time with them. It does happen, but much later than we think. It happens about when the kids move out and get married, then they want to be your friend and some of my best memories are with my mom and dad after I grew up. But I still have some time till then but I will love the time I get and hope that it is fun in the mean time. I didn't do that much this summer. Hung out at home, saw my sister and her family, saw my Aunt and her family, but mostly hung out at home. But tis time to get back in the swing of things. Boy I made my plate full. So if there are no posts for a while don't worry I'm still here but working full time and 2 dance classes, scouts, basketball, swim lessons, and now Taekwondo lessons for both boys, my days are gonna be busy. But you guys can still call because I still love to hear from everyone even if you haven't seen me in a while. Well till then
