Family Sunday - lots of pics and videos

hooting a 3"I couldn't stay awake to finish the last ten pages of my book, "The Briar Club," so I completed with my coffee in bed. S went off to church after his breakfast. I worked on yesterday's race day blog, adding many photos and videos, and finally got it done. (If you read already go back and see 2 new videos Britt shared)  While the videos were loading, I cleaned the bathrooms, tidied the great room, and set out snacks. It's a bright and sunny day, with the forecast predicting temperatures close to 30 degrees.

How sweet it this?? Asking to open and signing please XOXO

not sure why she did want

S returned from church with a few essentials and pizza before noon while I was watering the planters. B followed shortly and tended to the horses. The Calgary crew arrived not long after. Nathan put Renn down for a nap in the "new" crib, and then we all gathered on the deck to enjoy pizza and cold drinks. It was a beautiful day, warming up from 13 degrees at dawn to 21 now, and rising.

Renn napped for over an hour in the crib, which was equipped with room-darkening cardboard. Once she awoke, she was introduced to the baby horses. Britt, Renn, and I retreated indoors when the others commenced their shooting event, beginning with .22 caliber firearms before progressing to shotguns. 

Why so serious?

Later, as Renn, Britt and I went to see the large horses, Nathan took the Ranger out for a drive and also gave Renn a short ride.

see the sniper by the tractor?

Switch's eyes are on the baby, she loves babies too

Beibs was super curious about this little person too

Being so hot out B hosed the horses while we were out there

Snacks and cold drinks were enjoyed indoors as it was now 30 and the A/C was needed. Harley was thrilled that her little friend had started walking and was eager to become her playmate. Renn developed a taste for frozen blueberries, even though she favored them fresh. The Boysis family returned to the city before 6 PM. Britt went into town for a while, leaving Cooper in the air conditioning. Shaina stopped by for around 45 minutes, exchanging thumper massages with S before she too returned to the city in her Jeep.

 not sure about frozen berries

Once it cooled down, B was back out, she and I took our two horses for a quick ride around the perimeter while S prepared the horse trailer for departure. Following our ride, B trimmed Bieber's hooves in preparation for his first mountain ride tomorrow. Dave arrived at 8:30 and spent most of his time on the phone, checking in on his horses. I returned indoors with S coming in shortly after, Britt was off for town, and then Dave left for home. I began reading a new book from the library as S took a shower and dozed off browsing his phone.
