Day 5
Beastie wasn't feeling great today - jammie day , lunchtime ok so setup swingball m hour later nauseous feelings returned
Mesmorizing and hard to stop recording
After a Tstorm they came dashing in. Beastie came out and I got her to hold a feeder as they flew all around - bloody awesome
Day 6
Day 7
I decided to try Tink with Beastie - his size more suited but not as trained as Champ - but ive ridden him a few times this year and wanted to see if he would cooperate - he did - until the end of the session - time had flown so he was done but made sure we ended on a positive for next time and maybe these two can learn together - . still holds the rope in grab instead of pencil and the hard part of rope across neck and opposite leg . so these can definitely work together as he has brainfarts too - even its an english saddle i am teaching western She didnt grown enough for my western saddle !
Day 8
After riding lesson, Nana went to town to get some cowboy boots and Beastie spent some time with GrandDad - dinner - CHILI BURGERS - ROOT BEER FLOAT AND ICE CREAM

Today is our real last day together before a very busy weekend
Due to storm this morning we'll do town, get last bits for a BBQ sunday and then this afternoon and tonight binge watch Good Omens season 2 (which has just finished downloading) Pizza more root beer floats and do some more crochet too - 2moro morning its pack most of her things and if weather is good then the last ride , annoyingly, well sort of as its important, my plan to have Uncle Jay with us to ride with Champ and Tink together won't be happening now because of the hay . Uncle Jay is arriving a day early so he can spend time with him - she loves her Uncle Jay alot and is so excited to see him - plus long video chats with her Great Grand pops and Aunti Ana - it's been an awesome vacation
We have definitely covered everything on our to-do list and some more than once
Alan and Jay arrive Saturday afternoon - Alan from his week in Canada and Uncle Jay from Tonopah . Sunday we'll all be going to Centennial to get our 200 small bales and then BBQ then Monday is up and out by 5am for Beastie and I for her flight at 10 - soon as I get back it's pack as Alan and I leave Aug 1 for Waterlooville, Hants and Newport , Wales UK for DanAna's wedding on 5th Aug then 6th Aug after brunch with the newlyweds we head to Heathrow for our flight to Reykjavik, Iceland for 6 days . So excited , Alan can't wait because of Litli Hrútur eruption site Fagradalsfjall volcanic area near Reykjavik where we're staying , which I booked in april luckily as now the island is full and no vacancies anywhere - aka Alan is kid in candy store and fingers crossed 2 bucket list items ticked if I get to see some Humpback Whales.
We get home on 12th Aug and 14 Aug my amazing clawfoot will be inside as the gutting out and bathroom remodel begins :) and my kitchen can be finished with the diamond plate - that will be all on a blog - or website page
Day 15
No chance for photos as GrandDad and Uncle Jay came home BUT we did do some more crochet lessons and she has completed her first tight granny square , now working on her 2nd and probably 3rd as she went to bed with her yarn!
