Assessing the Damage

Week 67:  This was a short school week for us.  We made it back from the lake on Monday and it was time to get back in the swing of things.  As we pulled into town on Monday night, we were expecting the worst from storm damage.  There were still remnants of flooding throughout the area and lots of fences were down!  Thank goodness, our neighborhood was spared from too much damage!  Monday night was a little rough...we spent most of it cleaning up the mess of a house that had been without power for a few days!  Tuesday morning came way too quickly, but I think the kids were ready to get back into a routine, I know that I was.  We were excited for Thursday, it was time to start Girl Scouts!  We can't wait for this year - the girls have a wonderful new leader and lots of new girls!  I can't wait to see what is in store for us! 
Friday, we were back at the barn!  We were so happy that the horses were all ok after the storms.  The barn and arena had quite a bit of flooding and our favorite tree fell down.  It was a huge oak tree with the perfect swing for the kids!

 
While Mary Virginia had fun riding Jack, John Bay decided to help spread the dirt left from the fallen oak tree.

He was filthy when we left, but he had a great time and MV was amazing as usual!  She had complete control over Jack.  It has been months since she has ridden him and she even jumped with him!  I can't help it, I am a proud momma!
