Cherry Blossom Festival

This is the first weekend of the festival and the cherry trees are in full bloom! The weather has been perfect and we have enjoyed all of the "going-ons". Yesterday was opening day for Savannah's softball team, so we had team pictures and her game in the morning. Yesterday afternoon we went to Macon State College for the "Tunes and Balloons" and set up a picnic. The hot air balloons were beautiful and the kids enjoyed dancing in front of the band. Today we are taking part in the Cherry Blossom Parade in downtown Macon. Our friend, Edward, will have a band-wagon float in the parade and we all get to ride. Vince is especially excited to ride it, but we'll see once we get down there. I hope to post pictures later this week!

Giddy-up!


Macon recently got "Groupon" and one of the first ones released back in January was three private riding lessons for the price of one. Savannah has been asking for a year or so about taking lessons, so she was pretty excited to open the envelope with the certificate.
Savannah hopes to be included in a horse show in the next few months. G-Mama enjoyed going with Savannah to her lesson last weekend since she showed horses when she was a child.
