Horse Camp

Millie spent a week at Horse Camp which she loved!!! We will be going back and she has talked about talked about wanting to do some private lessons there as well. She was the youngest rider there and was pretty excited about that! The camp was at the Ellenwood Equestrian Center. Here is a bit about what she did daily...

A typical day of camp consists of the following; arrival at 9am, then break up into their work groups for am chores. Each day the children participate in a rotating set of chores so everyone gets a hand at feeding, watering, raking, and other various tasks that make a stable run smoothly. When the work is done the kids have a snack then play games with the helpers. After the games we have lunch then split the kids up again for their grooming and riding lessons. While one group rides the others play on the rope swing and rock climbing wall. When all the lessons are done and the horses are taken care of we end the day at our swimming pool.

This is Princess the Pig So you can see her to true scale On the last day, the parents could come and watch the campers ride. Millie's horse for the week was named Cookie.

Swimming Lessons (pictures & video)

We enrolled Milo in swim lesson and he, and his buddy Elijah, went this week. They had a great time! Storms rollin in on the way to swim class.

Cooling down

I walked outside and this was happening! Totally clothed, who cares! No she didn't get into a fight but had a little accident at Gymnastics camp.
Still my tough girl.

A Day in the Life / May Monthly Challenge (Blog Circle)

Of course I wait till the last minute to do my assignment, but I did do it! One of the tips of this month's assignment was to pick a day where there is nothing special going on. Nice and easy to make it easy to photograph your day. Well, I didn't do that. And, after reading all the other ladies blogs, I realize that I want to do this one again when it is a typical day-in-the-life of the Tainow family. But in any case, here we go.
