One Lost Valley tradition is that each guest family design a brand to be put into the wall of the dining room in remembrance of their visit... Coco has spent all week thinking about our brand, and here is her sketch. Somehow we went from hearts, which had predominated her thinking, to a star (easier to draw?) which she filled with "S's" and "W's" for the names of our horses (Smokey and Woodrow). Saturday the cowboys will put our brand on the dining room wall...
Yet another tradition is the staff melodrama in the barn... Coco, in her newfound independence, was off sitting with the kids and we all boo-ed and hissed and cheered our way through a delightful melodrama, followed by an ice cream social.
The day say lots of riding for me... I went out both in the morning and in the afternoon, finally relaxing and enjoying the ride rather than white-knuckling my saddle horn! I did have a minor altercation with a tree branch when we were bush whacking our way down the side of a mountain, but other than that all was fine! Coco spent the afternoon tubing and at a kids pool party. (She took my camera, but was having too much fun to take any pictures!) Altogether a satisfactory day!
