Day 2 of tournament and Lola turns 3

I did however wake at 4 after another train blew thru and then had interrupted sleep till I went out at 7:30 to see if Pepper was needed to ump. Nope so I crawled back in for an hour before going for a shower. That felt good even if I had no towel however a flannel quillow did the trick. I had feed the horses the last of the hay before I went in to shower and after rousting Britt when back, we fed the 2 their energy food and pills. Shaina was a slug to get up as per usual. Britt's cold seems even worse poor thing.  Poor Switch is really lame so I took her for a hose and walk for a bit. Team red got the horses tacked up and ready for another 10:30 am game. This was against Calgary with a good first chukka and not so good last. The weather was nice all day only hitting about 22 so not sweltering for the players and horses.

Britt did get to play the 1 finally for the final game at 1 but unfortunately they lost it as well. Darn the luck, they did play well but if they had even had some practice together a few times prior and if the umping was not so lopsided they would have surely done better. For Shaina it was her first and her last tournament of the year.

I had most everything cleaned up and sorted after the final game while the girls hosed and put horses in the pen. We stayed for the presentations at 3:30 and had horses loaded up and said our good byes after 4.

Shaina was off to the city to catch a plane to Kelowna to boat with friends. I dropped Britt back at her car at work after she napped the whole way there and then was back home by 6. I unloaded horses, tossed a bale and put them in the paddocks.

Lex loaded right in when I opened the door ;) she loves a road trip, sorry Lex, maybe another day

Britt drug herself out to help me unload stuff before she hit the tub for a soak. I got the whites soaking in their bucket  and the wraps soaking in the garage laundry. I had ordered Chinese at K's request and she kindly grabbed on way home arriving a quarter to 8. I woke up B sleeping on the coach to eat then she was off to bed. I hit a tub to soak before bed then Kaylin fixed up up with facial masks while we relaxed.

Today is Lola\s 3rd birthday, Happy dog bone day little miss!
