Brady had his second 4H Club meeting tonight. Last week was paper work and getting organized. This week the kids needed to show up with hats and boots for riding. They started by brushing the horses and learning how to saddle a horse. Then they got to ride. Brady and his friend, Elsa, were the least pushy ... kind of sitting back and observing while others were saying "Harley can I ride next? Can I ride that horse?" It was nice that Harley was observant and patient ... his quiet comment as he got to Brady and Elsa was, "Those who ride last, ride longest."
While Corb stayed at 4H with Brady, I took Connor and Maggie to the track on bikes for a little "mommy" workout. Susie (Elsa's mom) and Heather (Harley's wife) showed up at the track (along with a few other moms and kids). We had a marvelous time ... good speed workout for those of use who need it and nice social visit during recovery time! Connor was very entertained by a softball game on the field next to the track, and Maggie was great running around her her soccer cleats!
Nice end to the day ... Brady's response to "favorite part of my day" was ... "I can't decide there were so many!" We had his friend, Lea, over for a good part of the day and they found MANY adventures on their bikes and then played a good round of soccer in the backyard, with the new net we bought in Idaho Falls yesterday. This afternoon we had a short trip downtown and the kids got "99cent Rootbeer Floats" at Corner Drug. They were offering a special for our neighbor, Mike Ehredt, who is running across the country placing a flag every mile for a life lost in Iraq. Mike came through Driggs today. When we found the flag downtown, Brady was very excited because he remembers helping to assemble the flags before Mike's run began. Many nice moments for Brady today!
