Third Place Baby!!

That's right...in Jessica's first show of the year, first recognized show EVER, she got 3rd place. And there were 17 in her class! Not a bad way to start the season. And had she been a USEA member this show would have qualified her for Regional Championships. Next year she'll have to join, especially if she's going to keep doing reconginzed events.

This photo is the only half way decent one I got. It was rainy and I didn't have enough light for the SPEED she was traveling. It's still fun to look at though! That pony will jump anything you point him toward without even thinking about it. And obviously can clear a much bigger jump. Good thing too, since Jess will go Novice by the end of the season.

Today is recovery and reassemble. School starts tomorrow and we get to get things back in order around this house. The truck needs to be unpacked. The house needs to be straightened. The grocery shopping needs to be done. And so on and so on and so on. It's been a busy week and it shows. But we're all tired so we're going to go at it with a relaxed pace. We have all day.

Jonathan and Hannah get home tonight from St. John. We've heard from them about once a day and it seems like they've had a great trip. Sad at times but that's to be expected. I'll just be happy to have everyone home and together again.

I'm off. I'd like to squeeze some time for scrapping in today. Haven't gotten much done in that area lately.

Have a good one!
