If you are sleepy and confined to a desk job DO NOT play Hawaiian music! Sheesh - I almost fell out of my chair after 3 songs.

Spring Break
Today is the beginning of spring break for Big Horn. M and E are starting it off by sleeping in. D took C to Big Horn where she'll board the bus and go up for snow games with her school's Adventure Club.
It's an overnight at Camp Bethel. The activities list includes: Cross Country Skiing, Snow Shoeing, Sledding, Making Snow Sculptures, Building Snow Forts, Snow Snowmobiling, Dog Sledding, Some Indoor Studies on Animal Adaptions, Furs and Scat. Plus an Iditarod Knowledge Bowl. She has a packed lunch for the hour long drive up. After that all meals and accommodations are provided. It should be warm and sunny. She has sun glasses. I hope she has a WONDERFUL time!
This afternoon at 12:15 there is a soup luncheon at the Y. The topic today is Polo. Sheridan, Wyoming is the Polo Capitol of the country! We're looking forward to learning about it. The lot for building a house, which has Dave especially starry eyed, faces the Flying H Polo Grounds. Our other "connection" to polo is through Big Horn Elementary. One of the dads there is a pony vet. He loves the game and he loves kids. So, every Saturday beginning in May he invites all the interested students to come out to the fields and learn about the ponies, the game, and the culture of polo. Kids are invited to bring their horses and practice. One of Caroline's friends offered a horse to her, since we aren't pony people.
The chance of us ever having a horse (even less a polo pony!) hovers around ZERO! Very likely that if we stay here we'll get some dirt bikes, a snowmachine, and perhaps a few other toys.
We may go this weekend exploring the YMCA camp located up in the mountains around Buffalo, WY. I heard about it yesterday from my friend Patty Cox at the Y. She said the Y bought it and sunk $800,000 into it refurbishing, renovating and ramping it up! If the camp reflects the rest of the Y that we've come to know and love, then it will be great!
We're in a definite warming period the next several days. The weather here has been much less of an adjustment than I was fearing before we moved. I figured Northern Wyoming would be FREEZING ALL THE TIME. That has not been the case. Really if anything the weather mimics Ft. Collins with perhaps less wind. Mine is a grateful heart! Still when I saw the South West Airlines fare sale offering $69 to San Diego in February, it took all my restraint not to drive down to Denver and board a plane!
Check in when you have the chance.

Mud
Not only is the alley off the back of our house full of slurpy 4" deep mud, but when I dropped Caroline off at school this morning and came in through the bus loop it was the same kind of mud! This is a very muddy place when the snow is melting. Most of the cars in the school lot are muddy.
