busy busy busy

i'm REALLY busy today i already went walking this morning and violin in an hour then we have to take alex shopping for jeans after violin and then i have to come do math and homework and then (YES!!!) i might get to go out riding on pocket with mrs. mary woo hoo!! also, i get to go to agility class with jag tonight

TROTTING!!!!!!!

today i TROTTED ON PORSHA!!! that's the second time i've trotted on her. i trot on pocket all the time, but he is less bumpy so it's not as hard. she felt like she was going REALLLY fast but mrs. mary says she's only going as fast as pockets but he has a shorter stride so it feels like he's going slower. also, mrs. mary is teaching me the right technique for barrel racing!! she had me walking around a bucket on porsha. it was really fun!!!! :-)

pockets and porsha

yesterday i braided pocket's tail for mrs. mary and then porsha's tail. neither of them paid too much attention to me 'cuz they had food ;-)

anacapa island, diving, and sea lions

this weekend we went diving at anacapa island!!! we did 3 dives. we saw A BUNCH OF SEA LIONS!!!! there were TONS of them!! we were on the boat 'spectre'. the cook's name was shannon, too!! after the last dive she made brownie sundaes! they were GOOD!!! all of the dives went good, but on the 3rd dive, we were doing compass skills. we did everything fine on the surface...then, we couldn't get it right underwater. so, dad took us up to the surface and explained it again. we went under again, and lost 2 people from our group and had to surface again. we went down again, and surfaced again. everybody was having trouble with their ears and we kept surfacing over and over again, so dad decided that we had to stop the dive. so we went back to the boat, and dad did a fun dive with a couple people from our group. he told me i couldn't go just because i was having so much trouble equalizing my ears. so me and courtney hung out in the hot tub ;-) it was really nice :-) on the ride over to anacapa, we saw a bunch of dolphins!! some got right next to the boat. there was even a baby dolphin!! and some jellyfish. it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!!
