Day 1 of Horse Camp

We woke up with the sun at some god awful time like 5 a.m. Fed the horses and hung around for a while waiting to hear from Anne's mother about her horses or from the other campers due to arrive. There was some issue with Anne's mother's truck leaving them with nothing to haul horses and we had no idea when the other campers were going to get there. We decided to use the time to go for a short ride to get acclimated. We just rode a small loop nearest to the camping area. Anne's neices arrived for lunch and the rest of the camping crew also arrived and set up camp. Sometime in the middle of the day it started raining so we all huddled in tents and under the overhang of the camper. Luckily it was a very short rain. Later in the evening we drove up to one of the hiking trails around a lake and went for a little hike. Upon getting back to the car it started to rain yet again. When the rain cleared up the kids wanted to go for a ride. Since there were no extra horses at that point we rode double with the two girls around the small loop near camp.
