I have given up on blogging in order and have decided to just start with the recent and then I will go back and fill in what I missed this summer. Tonight's post is from the weekend of September 16th. Callie and I first went to the lake for a very quick visit with Nana and Papa. And then we met Matt, Mimi and Yoo-Hoo inBlacksburg for Callie and my one home of the season. Matt goes regularly, but Callie and I prefer to visit Lane Stadium only once a year. Besides going to the game, we were also able to visit my friend Sarah and see her new "babies". She has recently added several miniature donkeys (called wooly asses) and one mammoth donkey to her extensive equine collection. I was dying to see these new babies and Callie loves going to Sarah's house to visit her horses. On Saturday, we went to the Tech vs. Arkansas State game. The Hokies won by a lot which made it easier to leave at half-time once the novelty of being at a game had worn off for Callie. She really did enjoy it, clapped a lot, giggled and bounced during "Enter Sandman" at the beginning and especially loved seeing the band and the tubas. She made it onto the jumbo-tron once again this year but she was too busy coloring to notice.
The weather at the lake was very warm but it turned really cold overnight which made for a very chilly visit to the NRV. Callie enjoyed outside time at the lake, including swimming and some croquet. Nana's leg was healed enough for a swim.
Yoo-Hoo came along for the donkey visit too.
Gives new meaning to the term "cow-lick".
Giving baby Valentino a big hug.
Valentino might seem like a normal donkey size but he is a Mammoth Donkey and will get bigger than a horse when full grown.
Meeting Pippa who was born the day of the Royal Wedding. My name suggestion was "Duch-ass" but Sarah thought Pippa was a much more civilized name for a donkey.
Nice ass Sarah! (Sorry, could not resist!)
This little guy is Frosty. He has been mistreated in his previous homes and Sarah has taken him. He is very shy but he let Matt love on him some.
Callie loved the horses and donkeys but she also loves rolling in the grass and playing with the gravel in the corral.
And, of course, Sarah let Callie sit on the sweetest horse in the world and, of course, Callie loved it!
Thank you Sarah! I miss you very very much!
This is about how interested I am in what's going on too. And Yoo-Hoo is just faking interest.
Here is a video of Callie and Daddy jumping to "Enter Sandman" as the team ran out.
When we left the stadium, we got an unexpected treat - a ride up the hill to our car in the BT. Callie LOVED this! And so did Ma-Maw. Otherwise, it was going to be a very long walk!
