Further weekend adventures.....

Mitty hosted the Bridal Shower for Sam on Saturday... and I must say, that girl knows how to throw a party! Since the Bride-to-be loves Mexican food, she made (and I mean HOMEmade) a PLETHORA of Mexican dishes... chicken enchiladas, 7-layer dip, chicken taquitos, spinach/artichoke dip, and a number of other foods I can't even recall... add to that pitchers and pitchers of Sangria, Beer Margaritas and Key Lime Martinis, and you've got a recipe for a good party.

Following the games, gifts and fun, most of the group filtered out, at which point Mitty's Mom invited us to come over to her house to see the horses. Picture this - grown women, roaming around in dresses and bare feet, climbing split-rail fences to mount an Arabian horse, bareback. It was a sight to see (and yes, we got plenty of photos... none of which will make it to the 'net... too much potential for blackmail!)

After our adventure in horseback riding (and after suffering many horsefly bites!), the guys (Mitty's husband, Sam's fiancee, and Jeff) came over, and brought with them our swimsuits so we could all enjoy a cool dip in the pool. A wonderful time was had by all... it was so laid back, and between the horses and the swimming (not to mention all the giggling), it almost felt like summer camp. We laughed, we splashed, we did cannon-balls, and sprayed those on the sidelines with the hose. For one afternoon/evening, we all enjoyed activities we loved as kids, but seldom make the time to enjoy as adults.
