Tooth Fairy....

Jasmine lost a tooth yesterday, and she wrote a note to the toothfairy. The toothfairy wrote on the back and said that she doesn't visit little kids who paint rocks white and red, then try to pass them off as teeth:) The fairy left 5.00 and a 1970 Tanzania coin for Jasmine's coin collection. It has a zebra on it, and since this is the year of the horse, the toothfairy thought it was pretty close to a horse:)

Horse Hands Certificate....

Horse Hands 1 is complete. No zoo until the fall:) Yeah!! Cathy (Hope's mom) is going to email me photos from today!

3rd Horse Hands ......

Next week, Hope's mom Cathy is taking Jasmine and Hope to Horse Hands. PLUS Jasmine is spending the night with them. Twenty four hours to myself... Yeah!! Stingray bay- Jasmine has yet to touch, let alone pet one of the stingrays- after multiple visits. Hope was fine with it! The little stingrays are actually are very friendly.. kind of like dolphins. Then, I purchased fish for the girls to feed to the stingrays. Neither one of them would do it, so I ended up giving the fish to another little girl:( Getting ready to put on the saddle! Learning how to put on a bridle. Part of their class is in the barn, and the parents usually sit outside on the bleachers. The other part of the class is held in the arena. The whole time I kept hearing "HopeJasmine"..."HopeJasmine- no running", HopeJasmine- where are you going"... "HopeJasmine- what are you doing"? All one name..."HopeJasmine":))) We had a fun day, but I sure am glad I don't have to go back to the zoo until the fall:))

Another Horse Hands Class today....

Hope spent the weekend with us. They were up at 4 AM chomping at the bit to go. Only problem is..the class doesn't start until 11 AM. We went to the zoo early to walk around and see a show...the performing porcupines, hedgehogs, rabbits, turtles, rats, hawks and turkey vultures:). So tired from not getting enough sleep that we had to skip swimming and do a make up class later this week:( The two toothless little girls:) Checking out the hedgehog after the show. Starting to lead the horse for the first time! How to move around the back of a horse. Going home!:))

Last day of Camp....

Still not really sure what they did there all week. They went to the zoo yesterday, and the day before they travelled to China to study tigers and pandas:) I know that I won't miss the 45 minute drive four times a day!

Spring Break...

This week is Spring Break at school. Jazzy is attending the Environmental Education Center Spring Camp. I am not exactly sure what they do, since I don't stay during the day. Plus, she will never tell me anything about her day. I believe they take hikes around the lake, study various plants and animals- and I do know that they "flew to Africa" to study the animals there:) It's not terribly far from our house, but with the heavy traffic it is 45 minutes each way back and forth:( A hedgehog who lost his eye:) Some type of bird:) Back to school next week!!
