Happy Thanksgiving

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. -John Fitzgerald Kennedy

We hope everyone had a lovely holiday spent enjoying good food and the warmth of family and friends.

It has been a pretty exciting few weeks for the gang here at camp. Lauren competed in a Dressage Show the weekend before Thanksgiving and she and Valor placed in the top 3 in all of her classes. It was a large, competitive show held at Starr Vaughn in Sacramento. Kalli, our former Equestrian Center Director competed on her pony Tam as well!

For Thanksgiving, Craig, Ryleigh and I flew to Southern California to spend the holiday with my Mom, Dad, Sisters, Brothers in law, nieces and nephews in Palm Desert. On Thanksgiving morning, the whole family (2, 4, & 6 year old included) ran the 5K Turkey Trot. We all finished (some of us faster than others :))! I raced back from Turkey day to my "other" job as the Ticket and Season Pass Manager at Northstar. We opened the resort on Friday on just a little man-made snow, but hopefully more is on the way.

Lornie and Sutter held down the fort celebrating Thanksgiving here at camp with friends and the whole menagerie of animals that call this place home.

We hope your holiday was filled with joy and love.

Lornie and Valor at the Pumpkin Roll

Hi Everyone,
We thought you might enjoy this photo of Lauren and Valor at the Pumpkin Roll Dressage show in Reno last weekend. They showed First Level and received a 1st and 2nd place! Congratulations! Lornie is planning on attending another dressage show in the middle of November. Now, we are just hoping the weather will hold off long enough that they can attend. It has been a pretty quiet week here at camp, as we are all finishing up our fall projects and getting ready for the cold, dark days of winter.
Next week, we head to Tucson for the annual WAIC conference. We are excited to connect with our fellow camp directors and find out how their summers were. I am also excited about the spa services I have booked between educational sessions :).
Hope all is well with each and every one of you.

Happy Halloween!
Becky
