Monday night the kids put together a musical number. Sophie provided a bass line on the piano while Abe and Helen played along. Abe loves his harmonica.
Sophie's riding instructor took a break for a few months, but started lessons again for the summer. This week Sophie got to ride her favorite horse, Chenelle. She likes Chenelle because her gait is so smooth.
Before she rides, Sophie has to get Chenelle ready and this includes cleaning out her hooves with a pick. You can bet that's not sand Sophie is scraping out.
To our delight, Ruth and Bill Mitchell came to visit as part of their Great Tri-State Motorcoach Tour of 2008. We're guessing you can pick out the Hulls in the photo. The Mitchells are from the left: Bill, Will, Ruth, John, Zoe and Lizzy. Bill is just starting his final year of an oncology residency (4 years medical school, 3 years internal medicine, 1 year palliative care, 3 years oncology). They live in San Diego.

What a pretty horse. It's so nice to get to see a picture of Bill, Ruth, and their beautiful family. Thanks for posting and please tell them hi for us.
I love reading your posts and seeing all the great adventures you have there! Sounds like Nauvoo was an amazing trip with lots of lasting memories. Pass along a hello to Bill and Ruth from us - what an adorable family they have with all that curly hair. :)
