Oh, the water fights we had at the horse barns during Fair week. I loved it when we were able to secure a camper to stay right there in the midst of all the action. To wake up and breath Fair week was music to my heart. Brenna brought her palomino, Peanut, to show today. She was very nervous before her first event of pol
