This weekend was great

I had such a great time this weekend. Sara B came in Thursday, which was somewhat of a surprise. Friday night Ray, Sara B and I went to a academy game, which brought back memories of going to Sara B's games with Bethany. Saturday was the best day for sure. Sara B and I went riding even though it was really winding and cold. The Jackson's oldest son, Rayel(spelling is probably wrong), went with us for awhile. First we went riding in the woods, which kept us out of the wind and pretty warm, after that we road around in the field doing some trotting and I was giving Rayel pointers on how to keep his seat better. After awhile Rayel got cold and went in. Sara switched to the pony Rayel was riding, because she wanted to go faster then a trot, she was on a pregnant horse. After a bit more of riding and Sara B getting run through tree branches by the stupid punk pony, she got battle wounds on her face but nothing serious. I finally got her to give Jake a try, he was getting tired because I had been galloping around moving pretty fast with him, so he was not as wired and rearing to go as normal. Sara B got on and I watched while I used the pony for an arm rest, she started off trotting and loping. She lost her hat a couple of times when she started going faster. She got to gallop back end forth several times and it was so neat to watcher and I was really happy she finally had a great experience going faster then a trot. She did almost get wiped out on her last trip across the field because she went under some pine trees, but she dodged and ducked and came out unscathed. I got worried for a sec when she went under, but was very glad she made it. We both got ridiculously sore from it and Sara B had to drive eight hours on Sunday, yesterday she said she could barley walk and I believe it. We both had so much fun, it was the highlight of the weekend. Saturday night Caleb and Lindsey came over and we played Catan, it was pretty fun. That's it for now. ~Semper Fi
