Meet the crew

Didn't get much - well, any - riding in this week, but for a happy reason. T's (now mine, too!) kids, Hope and Marcus arrived on Saturday for the summer. In preparation we spent evenings after work getting rooms ready, cleaning out the garage, organizing tools, etc. They're settling in, and will be (hopefully) more excited about the horses as they were last year, but if not that's okay, too.

I'd anticipated spending Sunday afternoon riding, but ended up chatting with the BO for longer than I'd planned, so just did some brushing and hanging out. It was nap time, as you can see!

After documenting the napfest, I headed home for supper (garlic lime shrimp on the grill, yummy!) and then we took the kids fishing. H reeled in fish after fish, leaving the boys in the weeds. She even managed a small Northern Pike, which she stated, "Just looks weird!"

The Pike

Not having renewed my fishing license yet this year, I was happy enough to camp out on the bank with my book, serving as the designated bug spray wielder when necessary. The mosquitoes were out in full force, but protected by copious amounts of Off! and with the fish biting, no one seemed to mind too much.
