Had a busy weekend! Jumping, The Lake and Great company!



Thursday I fixed up a bunch of jumps I can practice jumping G. J I am actually curious to see if Red can jump or not, so I’m going to test that this week. Its actually a perfect spot to jump in the grass field cause it is all flat and mostly soft cause it gets watered all the time!

Friday morning was clear out morning, we needed to clear out the spot where we are building the new barn so we spend the morning taking down the green house and putting all the wood into the ‘Extras’ pile. We took a fence down and now it was time to take out the t-posts, Aly and I get clever and we are going to use the bucket arm on the tractor... The first bunch were hard to get out but we got most of them out the ground. One of the posts had picked its spot and it was refusing to move, at one stage the tractors on wheel was even off the ground, and BAM.... We snap a heavy duty chain, and yes I was in the cross fire, so I have this huge bruise on my shin! Joyous occasions!! LOL. Its all fine now but I couldn’t even feel my foot for the rest of the day.

Great weekend so far though, been crazy busy but great! J Started off by going down to Kent and Javier’s place for a Barbie J lol, They are really lucky, they have an amazing view and a really amazing piece of land, I think they have like 250 Acres. Javier took us for a buggie ride all over, lol that was eventful! Hehe. We then went to Valley Springs and didn’t spend much time there we so we went back to the Ranch! Alyson and Russ are the funniest people ever!! Hehe, and Javier cracks me up with some of the things he says.... Then you get Kent!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! He literally kills me! He will sit there and not say a word for the longest time, and when he does you literally want to crack up! So Friday night was a good one!

Saturday started off quite slow, I woke up at the usual time to feed animals etc. So I was a little tired after the previous late night! We then decide that we are going to round up the cattle into the grass field, haha, On. The. Quad!!! LOL... It was the funniest thing, I’m on the quad attempting to walk the cattle slowly but they are all over the place, Chris and Aly are on foot attempting to block the cattle. One of those, “Seriously ” moments, the walk up to the pen was fine, trying to get them in was another story! LOL!! Classic YouTube moment... I bet we looked like a bunch of retards...

Right after looking like tonsils with the cattle we decide to move the pigs... Haha... Well that ended up with a lot of running and going the wrong way, e.v.e.n.t.u.a.l.l.y we got it right. Hehe. We also herded the ducks to their pond. Saturday was like a herd me up day! The hen had her babies!!  She had 12 eggs and all of them hatched! So we have 12 cute little chicken babies running around! Last time she only had a few eggs hatch and only 2 survived, this time round looks really good though! ^^)

Saturday afternoon, off to the Lake(Better than saying ’Reservoir’(Which it is)  in SA known as a ‘Dam’) we go, we went to New Mellones this time cause Tuluc(Real Lake) is always busy and because its small it make the water choppy. Mellones  is huge, the water there was great. LOL, Steve seriously needs to spend more time in the sun he is WHITE, Like you need sunnies!! Hehe. So we went tubing and just hanging in the coves, it was really great fun! Alyson and I decide we are going on the tube together, haha, She ended up punching herself in the face a bunch of times, and I’m like laughing my but off! Then she starts screaming when it gets a bit rough, Her and I laughed so hard, that it was hard to stay on!! Haha, Eventually Russ got what he wanted by getting us off, I literally flew over Aly and ‘skipped’ across the water like a stone!!! Haha, More laughing!!

I decide to go on the tube on my own, now Russ wants to have some fun, but not a chance he was gonna get me off easily!! Hehe, he was eventually whipping the tube left and right over and over to get me off, but I’ve learnt the trick to staying on!! J LOL! He got me off at the most random spot ever, I wanted to kick myself, He does this 360 and I hold it and as he comes out of it he whips the boat the other way, I couldn’t get my weight shifted fast enough and ended up skippin the water again!! I swear this weekend I could have died from laughter!!! HAHA!!! The next time I bailed off the tube was all Chris’s fault, we went for a pretty long time and then he let go, and doing so grabbed me and dragged me down with him... haha, I was not impressed lol, I was about to break the boats tubing record!! Haha!!

So Steve and I have decided that we are writing a bunch of songs to sing at the OC and around here. Steve’s songs are pretty good and he needs a girl to sing a couple of him so we are going to start working on that! J I think it will be really cool if we end up actually finishing and recording them! Our new song though pretty much wrote itself this Saturday on the boat, haha One liners thrown around the whole day being completely hilarious!!

Had such a nice drive back down Rock Creek Road this morning, I love driving down it! It is sooo beautiful!! The view is amazing etc. I just try to ignore the fact that its a one lane road with a 150ft canyon on one side... Hehe, I just pray that there is no traffic when I’m going down or up there! ^^)

We went to the California State Fair today to watch Alejandro do a demo. It was loads of fun, Alley talked me into going on this one ride that swings and rotates at the same time... They were playing great music which made me relax ^^) haha, with my fear of heights, I was singing along to the song, waving my hands around and having a good time, it was quite fun... Aly on the other hand, who had convinced me to go and was completely her idea, did not open her eyes once and held on for dear life!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Yes another laughing attack!! Hehe, so we had a great time at the fair, riding rides, eating, drinking and spending most of our time with the livestock and the horse show was obviously our main event! ^^) hehe.

Gosh, you can’t believe though how hot it was today, even after we left we start driving home with the AC on and its not too bad. We get home, open the doors and Smack!! We get hit with this huge heatwave in the face, like we were in an oven, its was 101 at 6 when we got home and now its still 96 and its 8!! The sun is still even up, looks like its gona go down later tonight! J

Missing everyone stax back home. I wish I could just have a good Skype session with my mom, technology - only a great thing when it works. Aywho, love you all! I really hope all is good at home!!

If you don’t have me on fb search for Tarryn Griffiths to have a look at all my photos J

Stay Excellent.
