Horseback riding and swimming

Yesterday we went horseback riding and swimming in our grandparent's friend's pond. It was fun. But tiring, I didn't realize how out of shape I was in regard to swimming. I mostly hung on the ladder and relaxed and watched out for rabid fish. They bite us some times. It's funny. Pops went fishing while we swam, so he wasn't bored. Today my sisters and Pops are leaving again to go to the pond, but this time Hannah's going to fish. I'm too stiff from horseback riding to swim, and I'm not much of a fishergirl.

It's become a tradition that every year when we come to Meme and Pops' house, we go horse back riding with the M girls, Lindsay and Gretchen, and go out to eat afterwards at El Azteca. That's what we did yesterday. My horse's name was Snickers. I was the very last one. (I'm always the very last one!). Abby was in front of me (am I sensing a pattern? last year Abby was in front of me!) and Hannah was in front of her. Hannah's horse was slow. So was mine. Snickers did whatever Caleb (hannnah's horse) did. When Caleb stopped to eat, snickers stopped to eat. Caleb was slow, and Snickers was slow. The horses really don't listen to you, they just follow the horse in front of them, so when Caleb got so slow that the others got around a U turn in the path and Caleb was still on the other side, he took a shortcut straight through the U. Right under a tree. So Hannah had to duck and do some tricky steering. And, of course, then Abby's and my horse followed Caleb. Aiee. But other than that it was fun.

Tonight we're going bowling with all 6 of the M kids, and getting pizza, so that will be fun. Pops and Hannah are going to cream us all, as usual. Some things never change...

This morning I slept in until 9:15. Whoohoo! We watched Aladdin while I ate breakfast.
We kinda missed that Disney classic when we were younger. It was very funny. I remembered parts of it, but I don't remember ever watching it all the way through. I certainly didn't remember how it ended. Supergurl101, if I have my facts straight, says Aladdin should be rated NC-17, so whenever it got scary we told Abby "You can close your eyes if you want, this is an NC-17 moment."

Our vacation is half over already! Pretty soon it'll be on to VBS and babysitting. Can't wait. Lo va a esta muy ...fun. Which I think possibly means it's going to be fun. *shrug*
