Day 63 and 64

These 2 days cover our camp out. It was amazing. We have a wonderful group of kids here that I am priviladged to share the farm with. One of the dads cooked dinner while the mom's set up camp and watched the kids. The kids swam for about 3 hours. I had to get them out of the lake to get the horses for our night ride. We shared 4 horses. 3 riders per horse but one rider got to ride twice. Some were a bit concerned before they took their turn, but all, including the newer riders enjoyed riding in the dark immensly. We then cooked smores (over the grill, too hot for a fire) and laid on the dock to watch for metors. And yes we saw several. Some small, but a few large. The next morning, one of the moms made pancakes for breakfast while I took care of the dogs. The kids got to feed the horses thier breakfast. We then cleaned up and rode. I had 11 riders and horses out. Two men who volunteer worked a couple of the non riding horses and groomed several others. I had to finish dog chores after the kids left, but martin and mike finished the horses and goats after a long day working on the barn roof. We ate meat for dinner that Martin smoked, now time for icecream with bananna, chocolate sauce and grahm crackers. Night night will come early. The dogs are already sleeping.
