We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

For spring break this year we decided to do some local things that we haven't been able to try yet.

We met the tour van at a Embassy suites and met our guide, he was a local guy who knew everything about horses, racing, breeding, and every farm we went to or drove by he knew the family or corporation that owned it, their horses names, how old they were, and if they had run in any races.

She made an ice cream sundae car out of styrofoam balls, clay, batting and pom poms, that girl and her creativity! She did it all by herself!

They had a wonderful time, and dad (who hates dancing) even danced with her a couple times, but Madelyn mostly enjoyed chatting with her friends.
