State Capitol

Last weekend, we visited the State Capitol in Austin with Joshua and Erin.




House of Representative Chamber which seats 150 representatives. 

Thirty-one Texas senators meet here during Texas legislative sessions to work with the House of Representatives enacting the laws of the state.

A day at Stars and Strides.

First that day I had my lesson on Jet along with Courtney and Lily. 


My friend Courtney riding Lily.

I was washing Clay. He was really dirty!

Courtney and Brodie with P2. 

I braided Clay's mane and tail.



I was helping with Brodie's lesson on P2.  Brodie is an awesome rider. I also helped with several other lessons that day. I love assisting all the riders with Mrs. Miller!

I rode Jet bareback.

This is a horse that they were considering buying at Stars and Strides and I got to ride him.

Weatherford Fire Station Tour

 On Monday May 19, we visited the Weatherford Fire Station #1 for a tour with our 4H group.  The firemen talked about fire safety and showed us the fire trucks. I enjoyed organizing the tour for our group.
This is where they sleep.

 The fireman was telling us about smoke detectors.  Did you know you should change your batteries in the smoke detector once a year?


One of the firemen dressed in his full fire suit to show what he would look like in a fire if he came into your house.  
He wanted the kids to not be afraid of him.  We all gave him a high-five!
