Katie's 1st Riding Competition

The stable where Katie rides had a show today, and Katie was very excited to enter it. She was judged on three events, against 4 other riders of about her same experience. I can't remember the actual event names, but they all had to do with following commands, riding form, control, etc. As you can see, Katie was happy taking 2 second-place ribbons, and 1 third-place ribbon.

Anachronistic Birthday

Yes, I'm old. We went to Medieval Times on my 45th birthday. We ran into some old friends (the Veseys) who just happened to be going the same night we were. The kids had fun playing with Andrew, and we all had fun cheering on the Red & Yellow Knight. Alas, he was killed in the joust...

Riding horses and bikes

Katie on horseback, and friends on bikes. Lots of fun!

Katie's Riding again

We started riding lessons for Katie in Maryland at Reddemeade Stable. She of course is loving it.

Baltimore Aquarium

The Baltimore Aquarium has reduced-price tickets on Fridays after 5pm. So the Nemecs, Quiggs, and half the Petersons went to visit some swimming things. Unfortunately, the light inside the aquarium isn't bright, and I haven't totally figured out our new camera, so I didn't get many good pix.
