Updated pictures!!

Well, if you read my other blog, you know that my camera got fixed! When I went to feed the horses yesterday, I got a little trigger happy... LOL. I took 69 pictures and several videos!! I did a slideshow, but I can't put it in the post, so I put it right under this post. FYI it starts automaticaly, and it plays music. :)

Thanx!

I almost got one of her running with the lake in the background, but my back was turned to her, and when I turned around, she ran under the volley ball net (see in one of the pictures), and I got that one, but it's not very good.

Oh yeah, that would have been a really neat pic! :)

I didn't realize y'all had a volleyball net! We need to get together some ppl n play sometime.

Yeah! That's a great idea. Sometime when it's not too hot, I'll get some friends (including all of you! *wink*)and play some volley ball!
