Behind Infinity

I’ve decided that the next best thing to being a kid again is to spend time with kids. To that end, I spent my Saturday with my sisters at a horse show, where their friend Micah and her mom Rachel were competing in various classes throughout the day with their Arabian mare, Tsetina. (Micah and Rachel are our next-door neighbors.)

7-year-old Micah and Tsetina, before their first class. Simply. Adorable. Micah’s my favorite. She is one of the cutest and most sweet-natured little kid I’ve ever met.

Micah & Tsetina compete at a trot in the 11-under Walk-Trot Equitation class, where they took 3rd.

After the show, Micah came home with us in the Beetle and we stopped at the Dorr Dairy Ranch to cool off, being that it was our first day of 80+ degree weather in Michigan. I love the Dairy Ranch. It’s one of those darling small-town shacks that puts 7″ (literally) of soft-serv on top of a sugar cone, calls it a small, and charges you a mere 1.00. It makes me happy that there are places like that still in the world.

Wild West Minigolf at the dairy ranch. Hilarious. Who wants to come over and play a few holes with me?

After that, we headed home and got out the Slip N Slide for some more summer fun. (Look at our beautiful lush green lawn!)
