You Better Belize It

Okay - we are back. Back from Belize and back to reality. It was a hard transition to come home again. About a 70 degree temperature change. Every other year we try and get to Belize for part of the winter. We had a great time, the horses survived - love those round bales - and now we are getting back into it.

Start lessons on Thursday - won't Traveler be surprised. (I am going to be so sore) - and then we are jumping right into training again. Scheduled events - training with Karen O'Neal starts at the end of March, we had better get our act into gear before then, the next weekend after that is the first endurance race of the season and our first USEA Event is in May. Seems like a long ways off from now - but we have a lot of ground to cover before then.

No more slow walks on the beach, drinks by the pool or reef diving..... I will miss the sun, but I won't miss the sand fleas. Nothing like burning bites waking you up in the middle of the night. The only one who didn't have a single bug bite was Bella, our 2 year old, she is just too ornery and doesn't stand still for a moment.

I have 7 horses that have had the winter off and now it's time to begin again. Here we go......

Fun in the sun and sand

By the pool, getting ready to leave. I look so sad. (I am)
