We had a great time at the Renaissanse Faire last Saturday. We definitely need to make it an annual event for our family. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed going to the Faire.

Monday we went to California Adventure for a annual passholder preview of the new ride Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Tabitha had been saying all along she wanted to ride because she's not afraid of heights. But I knew she would hate it because it's like a freefall ride where they drop you and then you go back up and you get dropped again. This happens a few times. So she went, and she hated it. But it sparked her interest in The Twilight Zone and now she wants us to record the old show for her to watch.

Monday night, Chris and I went to see Jimmy Kimmel Live. It's a late night talk show that is shown live on the east coast. Of course, here on the west coast we don't get anything but the Academy Awards shown live so we were actually home before the show we were at aired here. Turns out that a four letter word slipped through the censors recently and now the show won't be live anymore. Guess we were lucky to see one of the last live ones. Anyway, we had a good time and will probably go to another taping soon.

Tabitha had her riding lesson Thursday morning and I think I've pretty much decided that we need to go back to private lessons. The other girl is a young 4 and isn't really interested and succeeds in easily distracting Tabitha. Also, when Tabitha is around younger sounding and acting children, she tends to start acting and talking like them. You put that together with the fact that the lesson now takes over 2 hours (as opposed to 1 hour private) and it's just not working. Then problem I'm running into is scheduling though since Chris will be working whole different hours and I won't be able to just quickly get the car. So I may be stuck with these joint lessons for a little while longer. In other horse news, there's a horse show next weekend and Tabitha is going to be in it, lol. All she'll do is ride a pony into the stadium and sit there. I think the division was called "line leaders" or something like that. It's always just little kids and her instructor told us that usually they all get a first place ribbon. But it'll be cuter than heck and Tabitha will love being in the show so we're going to do it. Unfortunately, it looks like Chris will not be able to attend. I think my mil is going to go with us though.

We're at a bit of a lull in our plans, finally. So we're getting stuff done at home that needs to be done and just kind of hanging out.
