Sophie's 2nd Stick Horse Race...

We went to the Country Horse Show in Eagleville on Saturday night. I don't really understand the difference, but it was a different kind of horse? than the one we went to before. This one is put on to raise money for the Eagleville Community Center that Granny and Papa are so involved with. It is pretty much all the Lamb's that put this together so we went to "help." Sophie remembered that she had named her horse Mickey last time and was ready to ride. She did much better about the riding, but got distracted b/c Grandpa was doing the announcing and he and Nanny were in the center ring. She was so excited that she kept trying to go to them instead of riding her horse. 
Mammy, Pappy and Eliza came and the kids played in the back of the truck until the storm came. We were under the concession stand tent for a while and kept thinking it would pass quickly. It only got worse and eventually the lighting got so bad it scared Nanny so Jennifer and I made a run for it with the kids and got in Nanny's car to let it pass. It never got any better so we got to our car and headed home. We definitely needed the rain, but didn't expect that much!
