The kids and I traveled to Lubbock to pick up my..well…pickup at the body shop. It had been there for a couple of weeks getting some dents out. (Remember in February, while on our way to Tennessee, we hit black ice in Oklahoma on I-40. see Feb. 2014 News) It turned out really well, and has a nice new paint job, too. Way to go Geico!

Yummy food and fun times at Applebee’s!

We also ate lunch with mom, Sunny, Jim and Hannah at Applebee’s Restaurant, taking advantage of their .99 kid’s meals. It was a fun treat.

Aspen takes her turn in the round pen. She’s riding Virginia, a beautiful Galiceno.

She was quite fresh and tried a few tricks with Aspen.

A few more times around and around…now whoa….backup, backup…stand still…she’s licking her lips, that means she accepts it.

Nathan finished her up and made sure all her little tricks were proved futile. Now she’s being unsaddled. We’ve found the jeep is a great thing for hauling saddles back and forth from the tack shed to the round pen.

Patient Carolina hopes for a turn.
