Today, Somewhat Exciting

So, today was somewhat exciting lol! Well even though it had a lack of excitment, it was actually quite fun... so, i never really know whats going on so, I never know if they have something planned or not! usually its like, i think that im going to have a day of relaxation, and they come to my room and say, we are leaving in five minutes to go here or go there... so, i never know what to plan for... so today, i was just playing it by ear, and they all of a sudden say, why dont you call your friends... im like OK but are they coming with us or what, and they say no, just plan something... so I called up Stephanie and asked her what she was doing, she said that they were going to a castle, so i decided to tag along, her family is always doing something to show her the area... so we went to this castle, it wasnt very big, and it smelled like antiques and old people but it was pretty interesting, i guess... kind of reminded me of the budget version with missing pecies of the biltmore house and like a sixteenth of the size lol... the best part was the underground cave, not basement, cave with stalactites and stuff, seems i have been cave dwelling lately abd also the gardens were nice, the place had nice little streams and frogs and stuff! Then, we went to this trail and took a very long wildernes hike around this lake, which was very long, but pretty. then, we went back to stephanies house and played some games and whatnot!

oops and i almost forgot that this morning i had a horse back riding lesson... and for those of you who have never horse back ridden, its a whole lot harder than you think... first, i had to clean the horse and all that stuff, then gdt on, which is hard if you have minimal muscle on your arms! so, at first we were going real slow (there were 5 other people in the lesson) in cirlces like a pony ride, it was quite nice, and then we started to trot!!! ahh they kept screaming, stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down in french, and didnt really understand what the heck i was supposed to be doing, but its something about balance! It hurt, we did it for an hour, i cant say that it was too enjoyable, not really my thing, and about every five minutes i had to be corrected because i wasnt holding the reins right lol! i think i was the worst student, i just had absolutely no clue what i was doing, but i survived! with my horse back riding pants and my helmet and my vest, and my chaps, and my boots! lol i was looking pretty professional, but man was i horrible lol! and now it hurts pretty vicioulsy to sit down, and i have bruises on the area where my butt cheeks connect to my legs, and also between my knees, those are from stand up, sit down, while the horse runs! I did however conquer the main parts of the lesson even though badly, and my mom says, you look very concentrate... and yes i was trying like mondo extra hard, i was just bad lol! but i did do diagonals, and cross passing! it hurt, i was confused, holding on for dear life, but i got the job done... walked a bit like john wayne for a while, then i was done, enough horse for one week... his name was Kaine, he was somewhat uncoroporative, and olivier told me that horses can sense if you have experience or not, and i have come to the conclusion that i was so much of a blindfolded beginner that he didnt know what to do lol... he was probably considering just laying down and rolling in the grass with me lol! but anyways, i did some horse riding, my butt hurts, those are the facts!

dinner time, reading US magazine after that! Wonder whats in store for tomorrow!!!
