More two year old pictures. Tess is big into swimming now, so we spend a lot of time talking about "swimmin at the beach." Normally, we have been going to the little swim beach near the marina, but last weekend we brave the crowds and went to Sandy Beach to watch the Hobie Cat regatta. It was fun and beautiful.

Pops refurbished my old trike so Tess has been practicing on a shiny "new" trike that looks pretty sharp. She still will ride for about 30 seconds, then tell me its "your turn" so I've been hitting my lips with my knees and peddling around on a trike.

In other news, I was appointed to be a part-time magistrate, so if you commit a crime or have a small claim, you'd better hope the "real" judges aren't sick, on vacation or somewhere else in the district.

Eric's colt named Clay is going to have to change his name to brown. Eric's been teaching him manners. He had been spending all his free time working on the corrals by the house and they look great. He was in a ranch rodeo recently and an Extreme cowboy race in Glendo and had fun.
