Let's discuss something cheerier than the big rock rattling around in my kidney, shall we? :D That little medical event dominated my thoughts this weekend, but it didn't start out that way. :)
For Yule, I went a little slap-happy on ticketmaster.com and bought the family tickets to some shows and events for while we were here in Florida. Saturday, our first event, tickets to see dressage down in Sunrise, FL at The "World Famous" Lipizzaner Stallions stadium show. If you can believe my audacity, I played them off as a gift to Daniel. ;) He was not fooled, but very cheerily agreed to go.
I'd gotten the best tickets I could--we ended up on the first row of the floor, about seven or eight feet from the rail.
Despite the dubious "World Famous" quotation marks and the shockingly low attendance, it was a great show. Maybe not the height of polished dressage, but fun and accessible. We were even allowed to take photos and cheer raucously! Graeme cheered on the performers, waving his arms and clapping, "Yay, horses! Yay! Yay!"
The Andalusian featured at one point in the show stole my heart.


I wish I'd gotten better, clearer, closer photos of the airs. My camera battery was dying a quick death and wasn't too fast on the trigger.

Dude, totally! We'd have to read over each other's shoulders. XD
You wanted to do the lighthouse walk, and we thought that'd be wonderful~ We wanted to go back to the turtle rescue, and do a new age hop and a thrift store hop...other than that, just spend tons of time with our created family~ <333333
