Motocross: The boys are hoping to go practice on Sunday but that will depend on the weather and how wet it is from the weekend rain. But then it's race, race, race Labor Day weekend!! The Baja Brawl is one of the biggest motocross events in the state - trailers start pulling in on Thursday to get a good spot and they don't even start racing until Saturday. But there's lots more than just motocross with stuff like golf cart races, bmx bike tricks off the ramp into the pond, etc. Considering this place has no running water and just port-a-potties I'll leave it to your imagination what everyone looks and smells like by the last day. Equestrian Girl and I will probably sneak home a few times for showers and real toilets. Motocross Boy won't even notice he's dirty. And boy oh boy will he be dirty!
Homeschooling: We are almost back to full swing after this week and it's been a good one. Not too much complaining, the work is challenging but not too hard. Both kids really like our new writing program through Vantage Learning and that's a plus. Equestrian Girl has taken to watching and listening her Spanish lessons on a little DVD player before she goes to bed. I've heard that studying something and then sleeping on it is a good way to remember it...so we'll see if this works for her. Considering my Spanish is pretty limited, I might have to call my Mexican sister in law to test her for me!!

Good luck at the show, the weather should be cooler so that's a good thing.
Boy oh boy was it cooler!! And a nice dusting of off again on again sprinkles. I ended up wearing a t-shirt, fleece turtleneck, hoodie sweatshirt AND a down vest! Made the horses very frisky in the morning but I think they even got tired of it after a while when the wind really picked up.
