Jenis's filly

At this moment I should be frantically trying to get to sleep to be fresh and ready for our yearly canoeing trip, but I just couldn't let all my loyal readers down. Haha, do you get it? loyal readers? like they actually exsist! lol. Anyway, yes, tomorrow we are embarking on a trip to Missouri for camping, canoeing, and six flags on the way home, all jam packed into one four day weekend! I am super excited because my super cool aunt Karin is coming! Also joining us will be Tina and Jozsef, Bob and Michelle, their son, Heath, and Jeff and his daughter Jordan. It will be a great group and great weekend I am sure of it.
This is Tina and Jozsef at the same place last year. You can't quite see it in this photo, but the water is crystal clear and deep and beautiful!

Unfortunatly there is a cloud of sadness that looms over the weekend. Today during vaulting, one of the moms discovered Jenis's foal lying on the ground gasping for air. She had had a heat stroke. They hosed her off while waiting for Judy to come get her to take her to the vet. The vet took her temperature and it read to be 107 even after being hosed off and spending a car ride in air conditioned. For horses 108 is like death. The poor baby is now in Judy's unfinished, air conditioned apartment and we a praying and praying that she makes it through the night. Judy just can't lose this foal.
