The First School Weekend and a Celebration!

We made it through our first week of school and into a morning of barn chores! Shane scooped poop and I got to scrub the ponies' water trough.

Carrie was busy prepping for launch with Laura and Barbara.

Laura has been raring to go off property on a trail ride and today was the day.

Carrie didn't ride with them, but she organized and drove the expedition forth.

They came back hours later, tired and happy.

I quickly took a picture of the traditional victory walk back to the barn.

They didn't go far. Just to Kim's place up the road, but a victory is a victory.

Carrie, Shane, and I went into town for lunch to celebrate the weekend on our own.

We weren't celebrating school or the trail ride, though. We were celebrating Carrie's birthday!

We saw these folks on the road Sunday after church.

They wanted to celebrate Carrie's birthday, too!

We met up at what's become our traditional Hibachi meetup. The last time we'd been there was when Chris and Rachel were visiting before the pandemic (They've since moved to California!). 

As always, Shane was an easy (and fun!) target for the chef.

He was raring to see the onion volcano!

When we got home, I took Shane to the pool one last time for the season. We were the only people there, unfortunately.


I'll have more to say about that in another post.

For now, we had a weekend with stuff to do even if there weren't a lot of other kiddos involved. Shane got his kid time in during the school week. I think he had enough entertainment and enough rest, but with just enough boredom he'll be excited for class on Monday.
