I have made it back up to Ocala. After church on Sunday the kids and i went to the horse show to watch gavin ride in the grand prix on his horse Odie. It was very exciting--one guy flew off his horse and crashed into one of the standards (the sides of the jump that hold the poles in place) and knocked the whole thing over! Luckily it wasn't Gavin! He did pretty well however and only had 8 faults, very good since Odie hasn't been in a grand prix in a long time. So we were happy. Gavin has been extremely busy, just like any other horse show. He has the day "off" today so he slept until 11:00 then he and the kids and his mom went over to the show to check up on things.
so here i am ALL BY MYSELF. all i can say is YEAH!
and here are my ramblings for the day:
on the way up here from Marco, we stopped in Naples at a Botanical Garden--this park was having its grand opening of a dinosaur feature. clearly walking around and looking at plants is just too boring so they had to put in some dinosaurs to attract the young families...(i'm telling you, it's geezer village down here!)
So here we are walking all over this park looking at models of dinosaurs who lived 100 million years ago. I couldn't help but laugh--do people really believe this?? Now I am absolutely NOT an expert on the age of the earth, but i'm pretty confident that it isn't a million years old. Can someone help me out here??? Kids LOVE dinosaurs and I don't really get it but still, we want to help our kids find out about things they are interested in. Does anyone know of a kids book about dinosaurs that is written from the Christian perspective? I would love to read the history of the dinosaur so that i can try to explain it to my kids, but I don't even know it and would guess that it is really difficult information to come by. I'll check on the internet and get back to you.
Oh, and by the way, the dinosaurs didn't help, the kids were still bored... :)
