Wonderful, sunny Easter

It was a great day!  It almost ALWAYS rains on Easter around here, but today was sunny and beautiful!  The girls colored the eggs last night, and this morning, we all headed to mom and dad's and went to church with them.  The girls got to read a little part of a lesson up front, and my neice and nephew, and his girlfriend joined us, as did Kevin's mom.

After church, mom put the finishing touches on a WONDERFUL meal, and we all ate too much.  Then Arick, Michelle, and Brett hid the eggs for the girls to hunt.  They had a great time, despite the arguments about who had more.  Once the eggs were all found, it was time for ME to have some fun.

I cleaned up my little buddy (his mane was in knots again) and went for a ride.  Arick, his girlfriend Michelle, and Natalie all took turns riding Blue, while I rode Buddy.  He did great today!  No nonsense at all.  He's such a sweetie.  Well, ok, he acted goofy when I was cleaning his hooves, but Blue had just walked away, and he was worried about where his friend had gone.  Once I saddled up, he was an angel.

I love having a weekend that leaves me feeling like I did EVERYTHING that I wanted to do with it.  I relaxed, played cards, ate too much, rode my horse, and spent time with family.  Heck, I was happy to see Arick and Amber again!  It had been a while.  Now, if the weather would just hold out, I will sneak in a ride on Thursday, since I have the day off.
