Crochet Me Crazy

There have been days this week that have been unbelievably hot. One day it was 112 degrees on the thermometer at the stables.

Alison's first dance class of the year was on Monday.

She has been very sore this week from working all those muscles that haven't been worked all summer!

Tuesday, some kids asked Michael to take them on a hike. Alison went with them. Michael is so used to hiking ALL over this park in the heat of the day. It doesn't seem to phase him. Even park rangers talk about how Michael walks all over the park in the heat of the day. They offer him a ride and he turns them down. Well, anyway...Michael took those kids more of a hike than they could handle. Michael calls me to tell me to bring them water. By the time they got off the mountain, this poor little 16 year old girl was all scraped up and bruises from falling down so much and she was pretty heat exhausted. These two kids with them were so desperate for water, they were picking up water bottles along the trail and drinking whatever water was in them! I got them in the car with some water. I told Michael he should have called me sooner. We could have sent someone with water up to them. Anyway, my kids were fine but Alison had brought here hydropak with water. She had started sharing with the other kids until she ran out. My kids are pretty tough and they have been conditioned to the heat this summer I guess.

Today, we are working at the stables. Labor Day Weekend is the last tourist rush of the summer. The campers are streaming back into the park for the weekend and hopefully they will want to come horseback riding while they are here!

I have finished a little crochet bag. Just a little project to fill the time.




I also made these two little scrubbies this morning. Just a little quickie. I should put some little french knots in black on the red one and it would look like a watermelon!
