In the afternoon, Ethan had a party at IFLY which is a Indoor Skydiving centre, I had an inkling that he might be nervous but it wasn't until he saw the wind tunnel that he had a mini freak out. To say he was scared is an understatement, he was utterly terrified. He was bawling his eyes out and just didn't want to do it. I chatted him through a few things and then he went into the briefing with his buddies. When they came out he went straight over and started getting suited up! He was hugely scared the whole time he watched his buddies go in, but eventually, with some support from the instructor he went in! He did so well and got over his fear, going in twice and doing his absolute best. What a dude.
Sunday I went to watch a dressage clinic with Lientje Schueler at a gorgeous venue near Sedalia. Ethan got to go to the main house to play with some other kids and I got to watch some pretty mega horses and their riders in the clinic. It's completely out of my league but wonderful to watch nonetheless.
Throughout the winter and Spring here in Colorado we have had extreme weather, feet of snow, winter storms and hail.
The summer weather is just starting and we have had the most stunning weekend of sunshine, properly hot, Bikini hot! But, I forgot the ferocity of thunderstorms. Last night around midnight a thunderstorm came through, the strength and noise that it made was deafening and we had probably ten minutes of thunder, lightening, , high winds, torrential rain and hail. I usually sleep through most things now, but not a chance with these storms. Today, is back to normal with sunny skies and a bit of a breeze. Crazy Colorado huh!
Next weekend should be fun as its Memorial Day weekend, a long weekend off with a braai planned and maybe Off Roading or Hiking, we shall see.
