It's been awhile since I have had the time to post.  On Wednesday Olivia, our friend Debbie and myself were off to Syracuse.  It was adventurous and super fun.  Before we left Debbie locked herself out of her car.  She had to wait for AAA to come and open her car for her.  Then she was on her way to my house.  We left here and had a great ride up to Syracuse.  We went to check into our hotel and found we were at the wrong one.  Yes, there are two Best Western's in Syracuse.  So, we go on our way to find our Best Western.  Well, it seems the one we had reservations with was at the airport.  Oh, I mean at the airport.  We could see the huge plans coming in and taking off.  The hotel was clean and neat and it was fine.  The airplanes didn't actually bother us.  It was our neighbors who had their TV very on very loud.  We went to get our tickets to the George Morris, Ian Miller and Kourtney King clinic.  Before getting them I joked that I bet George didn't make it.  He probably had the flu.  Guess what?  He didn't make it and had the flu!  Ann Kurzinski stepped into his place and the clinic was great.  It was full of information and we really enjoyed it.  It was amazing being able to walk around with such a amazing riders from around the world.  We saw many famous riders while there.  We did watch the A/O jumpers on Thursday and saw Jessica Springsteen do her thing.  Her first round was great.  Her second round was a lot of knock downs.  But it was fun.  We can't wait to attend next year.  Will and Crystal drove up for Thursday and they had such fun as well.  :)

I was so pleased with how well the other children did while we were gone.  Noah and Harley were a bit nervous about me being gone overnight.  Mollie did a super job of making sure everything went well.  Mollie even had fresh baked brownies for us when we got home Thursday night.  Of course my mom and Oliver were here as well.  I was very proud of them!
