The Parker's Journey

Our weekend wasn't that exciting but it was restful. On Saturday we went to the European Championships of American Quarter Horses. It was like being at home with the horses. We took our dog Adrian and she did wonderful for the hour drive and was very well behaved after a little of adjustment once we got there. We got to watch the halter showmanship (my favorite, but the girls think it is boring) and cow cutting. We really do miss our horses and showing. Can't wait until we are back home riding.

Today we went to one of our favorite spots. It is a lake that is only about 1.5 miles from our house. We bought the girls season passes so they ride their bikes a lot of the times. I packed a picnic and lots of sunscreen. It was 90 degrees here today. It was so beautiful and very crowded. Mike still isn't up to a lot of excercise so that left me to get in the lake with the girls. The water was really refreshing. I just really enjoyed laying out and relaxing. The only thing bad about this lake is having to see all men's body types in speedo bathing suits. Yes you read right, every guy wears speedos (except for Mike). It is definitely entertaining sometimes!

We came home and after a trip to the commissary, I made homemade barbeque chicken pizza. It was delicious. We miss you all and I still wish CJ was over here with us.

I hope all of your first week at school was good, Hannah, Jenna, and Mackenzie! We love you!
