While in New Orleans we were looking for things for the kids to do and Jen’s Dad called the house at 8:40 in the morning with news that at the Equest Farm in City Park they were having a Thanksgiving horse camp….starting at 9:00. Alex had just got out of bed so we had to do the flight of the bumble bee to get the kids dressed for horse riding, a lunch packed, and out the door to the stables in time.

Andrew was really excited and jumping up and down about being able to go but Alex wasn’t as excited but we didn’t give him the chance to argue about it and zoomed him out the door before he could object too much.

Amazingly we got there in time and while I was signing all the waivers and other papers Alex leaned over and whispered to me,

“Dad, Dad, I think this is the wrong camp.”

“What, no, this is the only horse camp at City Park, we’re in the right spot.”

“No, I don’t think we are, you need to ask, this isn’t the right camp.”

“Why do you think we are at the wrong camp?”

“We’re the only guys! It’s all girls!”

After I looked at the ten or so other campers who were gathered I noticed they were in fact all girls.

Bob called shortly after I left them to check to see they got to camp ok and I said Alex was a little uneasy about it being all  girls he said “Oh, he should look at this as his great opportunity.” I’m not sure he saw it like that.

When I picked them up in the afternoon they were both very excited and had a great time so apparently they got along well with all the other girls.
