Felton, MN - Children and Health

Howdy,

Today was a wonderful day in the neighborhood. (Taylore's addition to this blog)

(Sarah's addition to the blog) Waking up a little bit later today (around 9ish) we headed out to take photos along the frozen terrain. Our photo shoot included these large tube things and a neighborhood watch sign (yes, this is ironic because we are in the middle of nowhere).

When we arrived we started with the cutting of insulation, apple-picking (a.k.a. picking up horse poop), building a fence, and folding t-shirts. One of our most challenging chores was when we had to go out into the pasture and grab the large, circular food trough. While the horses watched us struggle, we tried to maneuver it through a huge lake of horse poop, mud, and other things we don't really want to remember to the other side of the pasture.

Upon completing everything for the classes, we finally got the chance to spend time with the kids. Classes started at 4:30 and by this time we were pretty pooped from all the chores. But it was not a problem for us the second we saw the kids faces on their favorite horses we got a second wind and preserved. All of us got the chance to sidewalk, meaning we got to walk along side the horses as the kids exercised, stretched, and just had a good time.

The ending of our day couldn't have been better because of what Bette (the owner of Riding on Angels Wings) left us with for the day, "Honesty, we could not have been ready for today without you guys." With all of us feeling good about our preparation for classes, and the first day of classes going well, we all feel pretty excited for the rest of the week. 

*Reminder for tomorrow: Bring 6 pairs of socks, no more frozen toes!
