This past weekend, the kids and I went to our very first barrel race. We had no idea what to expect. Sure, we knew we should take our bag chairs, a bottle of water, the stick horses and of course our camera. I knew that we should wear jeans and tennis shoes (since we don’t…
Last year we received a bow and arrow set for the kids and I to learn on. I am loving the fact that the kids can learn a new skill in our back yard and have fun at the same time. None of us qualify as the next Legolas (Lord of the Rings) or Robin…
