Summer Vacations

This summer which barely got here the end of June has been great!!!
My niece Kylie from Salem Utah came over and we traveled to Lovell for Lovell Days, rodeo, fireworks, parade. Got to see Wes, Wendy, Shalon, the hulk, er I mean Cutler! Holly, Kurtis, Dave and Susan, Heather, Kyle. The kids met me in Cody (I couldnt believe they drove 50 miles just for me!) for a movie but turns out we couldnt watch what was playing so we visited the Cody mural and Pizza Hut! The weekend was fun and the fireworks at Horseshoe almost as spectacular as Davids popcorn! Holly was the hostess with the mostest as always and I really appreciated the way she made us feel so welcome. We also stopped and swam at Thermopolis which was great! PS i dont recommend the Western Motel in Lovell! LOL. But life is an adventure I always say!
Kylie hung out here in Tetonia with me the rest of the week. We rode every day. We went to Dry Ridge, Twin Creek, South Leigh Creek, Hidden Lake, swam at Hieise hot springs, and she followed me to to 2 ropings and a barrel race. I have been roping much better this summer and Spooky is leading in the senior division in the barrels. (Once you get so old, theres not much competition left thank goodness!!!) I taught her how to back a horse trailer and pull the horse trailer down the highway. She gets her license next month. Her folks met us at Bear Lake Utah Friday and we spent the weekend floating around on tubes on the lake, barbequeing and watching fireworks. We also toured Minnetonka cave which is at St Charles ID. You go through several caverns well lit 350' below the surface. This tour is not for you if you have a bad knee or hip!! It was great fun!
I just got back today. I need to get ready for 4-H horse camp later this week where I will teach halter showmanship. I want to take some nieces and nephews camping in August with the horses so were trying to get that planned if Kurtis can locate a good spot.
Life is great. I LOVE SUMMER!!!! Happy Trails!
