I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Play Day

Posted Saturday, April 13, 2013, at 6:13 PM

It's that time of year again I guess. The Rusty Spurs 4-H group has put on the year's first play day. I'm pleased that they did, and there was even a fairly good turnout considering the wind. Kids all had a great time, and I saw lots of smiles. I nearly blew off the fence while taking photographs, but I managed to hang on. I guess MY club ought to get going and have a play day soon!

Here are some of the highlights

Always always always, there are adults that wanna play too!

Traditional Barrel racing

It was seriously so colt, I have to applaud everyone for turning up. Definitely, there will be more to come, I"m quite sure

Looks like a fun time. Cold, but fun.

It was fun. And I found I get colder, when I'm NOT horseback. Or with my own kids. I was all by my lonesome, just taking photos for the kids that did show up. But was still a great time!

Funny how that works sometimes.

For many years, I fished for steelhead in below zero weather and never got cold enough to quit "cause the fish were there". And today, I'll turn up the furnace when it's snowing outside even though the thermometer next to my chair says its 68 degrees.

Typically, I can take quite a bit of cold. And I can ride for hours horseback in frigid weather, or very hot weather. But once i"m done, it's kind of like suddenly "It's not fun any more" and I"m cold! or hot, whatever the weather is.

Til I'm not distracted I'm OK.

Sometimes I come into a warm house, and suddenly, I"m very cold!

but I like my bedroom quite COLD at night. No heat in there at all.

I'd have done well, in those old sleeping porches

This is good Jessie. We always had fun doing those types of things in 4H. We didn't call them play days, but Gymkanas.

Yep, Bonnie, same type of thing.

It's much colder on the fence than on horseback!
