Today we spent most of our time scraping the front of the house and ending with power washing the blocks.
Also spent time getting essential camping equipment, clothes, horse and dog stuff, and food into the trailer.
We finally get ready to go. Skip is totally aware that something is happening and he believes he's going to be a part of it. They are anxiously awaiting the cue to load up. They've been in the dry paddock since about 1:00 p.m. Both boys HATE to urinate in the dry paddock. KC will hold it all night, until I let him out in the morning, because he does not want to pee in the stone dust.
Finally, we get everything ready and load the boys into the trailer. They haven't been in this trailer in over two years. First Skip pees, while I'm announcing this news, KC joins in. ARGH!!! This is the first time KC has every done that in the trailers, ever. Urine etches aluminum so we HAVE to rinse this out.
We pull the boys out, into the sacrifice area, and he hoses off the mats and floor in the trailer. Replaces the saw dust. It's getting later and later.
We get to the club around 6:30 or so, and it is busy. Not as crowded as it could be, but it is. He is not happy with the lack of parking/camping in the woods, which he had planned on. I tell him it makes no matter mind to me if we turn around and go home. It's him that laments not having a 'vacation' in over two years.
A friend sees us in the lane and says there is a space up by her, and it has trees and electric. We pull in and it's perfect. He maneuvers the trailer back and forth and gets it just right and level. He gets the boys out and they are soaking wet. Hot, hot, hot. We left the fan in the other trailer and Skip is drenched.
We hang the high-line and the hay nets on the line and tie them to it. They are happy. We're happy. Everyone is happy
Happy Campers
