Back in the Saddle and Back in the Pool

Summer has arrived! Of course, today is not a great example of it, (only in the low 60's this week) Last week we spent most of our time at Grumpy and Grandma's in the pool...with those goggles. It was in the high 80's and low 90's. And Kate is back in the saddle with riding lessons. We love her new trainer, Ann Marie. Kate is learning so much and I am even a part of caring for the horses! Swimming, staying up later, running outside, lessons, more swimming...no school, tans, mosquito bites, friends...got to love Summer!
