Maverick's Supreme Extreme Makeover

Oh boy...it's a little crazy taking a vacation with so many little ones!! But it's been so much fun! We're still trying to catch up on sleep...we all took a several-hours' long nap today.
Maverick struggled to perform. He was nervLinkous and just kind of distracted by everything around him. He placed fairly low in both rounds yesterday and didn't do great on the cow horse round today. We won't find out for sure until morning what his score is for this round, but we're fairly certain he's not in the top 20, therefore won't be in the finals tomorrow night. Which is kind of a bummer because we wanted to see Scott's final show with the Top Gun theme!! :)
Anna has, not surprisingly, been having the time of her life. She thinks Maverick has done GREAT! "I'm so proud of Maverick!" she says. We're so proud of Maverick and Scott!!!


Watching Scott and Maverick practice.



Working Maverick between rounds.



Aaron made the comment that he was probably the only person in attendance wearing Birkenstocks. Amy pointed out that she was wearing sandals, too. :)



Checking out the vendors at the arena.



I finally retired Anna's green boots. They were SO HARD to get on! But, these are still CUTE with pink this time. :)



Jacob was wearing his jeans and boots, but after naps he said he was too hot with jeans on (it was all of 75*!).




This cutie pie has done really good. He loves the sling and I always chuckle to myself at the looks I get when he's in it.



She would have sat out there all day watching the horses.



Of course I couldn't get her to pose normally! Silly goose.



No one is surprised that this one wouldn't pose normally!!



Playing hide-n-seek with Uncle Alan.



Maverick and Anna already have a special bond (have since practically day one). He's never turned away from her and you can just tell that he really loves her already.



Cousins, cousins everywhere! It's been fun seeing all the little cousins (2nd cousins) play together. Lots of little ones!! This is sweet, sweet Addison.



Unbeknownst to Scott, Anna had a dream just a couple nights ago that she got to ride Maverick bare-back with no bridle!! Scott has definitely secured his top spot in Anna's heart!








Jacob now thinks he needs his own horse. He asked Scott, "Tan I have one of yuh howses??"



Oh goodness...Little Miss Priss! Leah showing off her birthday bling! :)




I think Addison decided it was either laugh or cry...she wasn't too sure about being up on Maverick!




It's been such a fun vacation so far! Can't wait for the rest of the adventures! Win or lose, we don't care...we've given God the glory and are having a great time with family, making memories!
