Max the swimmer! Well, kind of...

After last year's feeble attempt to get Max into the pool, we gave up for fear of scarring him for life! But, we were anxious to try again this summer, knowing that if he just got used to it and overcame his fears, the exercise would be great for him. So... we thought we'd give a doggie life vest a try (yes, they actually do make them!). This video documents our attempt today. Not too bad and I think we'll try again. Just after a couple of times stepping onto the large sun step in our pool, he's comfortable doing that now on his own so there's hope he may take to swimming with the vest :)

Jazz Recital 5-28-11

Alli had her dance recital last week... probably her last one since she's not going to continue with jazz given next year her time will be taken up with school and drill team, and gymnastics if it can work it's way in with everything else! Alli thinks the recital jazz routine this year is incredibly simple, possibly because they had such a large class. Still she had fun!

Hannah - Tally Ho 5-11

Hannah is still loving her riding. She will go to a week long camp at Tally Ho next week. This shows her riding a few weeks ago. The horses were acting up a bit because of a storm that started during the lesson. It's the only rain we've had in months. I also caught some horses in one of the pastures playing in the rain! You can see how dry it is, though... even in the rain there is lots of dust kicked up by the horses. We are well over 10 inches under the normal rainfall amount at this point in the year.
