my first 4th of July

woo my first 4th of July parade/celebrations! was pretty cool - we had a parade for it which was cool and we had a float for ranch - which was a carage pulled by Prince and Doc, the two percheron horses. We also had a competition to dance in villages in a choreographed fireworks dance.
They put fireworks on the field which we watched from on top of the hill and then we all ran down towards the waterfront where there was a boat filled with fireworks on the lake too. Very pretty.

I also had a fairly eventful weekend. I was the only counsellor on for my cabin from saturday to monday which meant i had very very little time to do anything except be 100% focused on the kids for the whole time. That was fine of course but i had a few testing events... atleast i now know i can deal under stress pretty well. :)

The group of kids i have at the moment will only be here until saturday morning so i only have 4 more days with them. It should be fun; i have got to finish preparing my riding group to sit for their "neckerchiefs". There are about 7-8 different neckerchiefs, and they are basically tests on your riding ability etc.
