Gloomy Weekend Turned Bright

I hate those cloudy, cold days that seem to pile up on each other. I just want to bake and sit under a blanket, but I'm married to Rob; he doesn't quite know what sitting still means, and for that, I'm secretly grateful. Such was this weekend--ugly and rainy. Rob saw no excuse for staying in, though.

We started at the bowling alley . . .


Ty scored a 68. Robbie a 58 (though to Robbie's credit, Ty used the ramp most of the time).
Then we went horseback riding! Some horses are stabled just behind our complex, and on a whim, Rob left a note asking if we could ride sometime. To our total shock, we got a call back from the owner saying YES! Rob has his own saddle here, so we just headed over and had a blast. Robbie was very daring--even trotted and rode bareback (on a lunge line). Ty kept explaining that he really wanted a PONY not a HORSE!! Still, he loved his ride with Daddy!!



The next day we headed to a rainy Provo for the football game, where Rob scalped four tickets for $10. We were shocked when the usher led us to the second row on the 40. Each ticket was priced at $83.33. What a deal! The rain stopped at kickoff and the Cougars won!
