"No, I said it, like, 5 times already, Colin. Weren't you listening?" And onwards goes the backseat banter between Ayla and Colin. Ayla got Colin all worked up about a swim test that he was going to have to take to go into a pool. I'm not even sure they do this at this particular camp, but I figured I would let it slide and then Colin could decide for himself if his 2 week Big Sister was full of it or not. As interesting as it was watching Ayla and Abigail become instant co-conspirators against all things parental and uncool, it is equally as interesting watching Ayla and Colin take on an instant Older sister, Younger Brother dynamic. Ayla tattles on Colin if he is lying (no, Colin, we had like 20 minutes to eat lunch) and Colin purposefully leaves snot on his face after Ayla gets all vocally grossed out about his nose blowing techniques.
But overall I would say they are having a blast. Colin is anxious to ride the horses fast (no big surprise there!) and Ayla of course says that her teacher said they were the best group and they learn SO FAST. As I stood listening to them recite their day and all its adventures for 5 minutes at the camp when I went to collect them, I chalked up the first day of quietness to being completely overwhelmed.
Oh, and BTW, Leaf is like the biggest horse EVER, he's sooooo big, OMG, like huge.

Well, I am in the study lab while reading this and let me tell you - I had to bit my tongue from not bursting out laughing! I love the Big Sister dynamics! It must be hysterical :)
What was the slow poke horses name again - Ayla was very disappointed that she got him the other day. As well as having to share horses, "There are like 50 horses Mom, we shouldn't have to share..."
I love all the vocabulary as well, grooming, ring 1 vs ring 2, etc...it makes me want to become a cowgirl :)
Love you and miss you tons
