Update and sharing some pics from the weekend - World Equestrian Games!!

This is Thurs. of round 5 - not feeling that great right now, but that's the norm for this point in time....trying to just keep my mind off of it.  My hemoglobin was low again on Mon. so I'm getting more blood infused tomorrow.  So it will be a long day (chemo in the AM and blood after that) but I now know from last time that I will most likely feel better afterward, so that makes it easier to handle.  PLUS, after tomorrow I only have 1 more round!!  Woo hoo!  Say it with me - Woo hoo!! :)

Lindsey and I had a very fun day at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington on Sat.  Just wanted to share some photos...
The greeter at our very nice hotel - compliments of Sara & Matt.

and the complimentary Bourbon Balls. mmmmmm


The view as we entered the park
 

There were people there from all over the world speaking different languages, but it's obvious who this fan was cheering for.   The picture on the right is Lindsey's reaction to the "Restricted Area" sign and ropes keeping us a distance from the vet-check area.  She SO wanted to get down there to see what they were doing. 

At the first water complex on the cross-country course (I think this was obstacle #5),  the horse & rider have to first jump over this log into the water...

then jump this big fish in the water...

then this big, um, duck - I forget what it's called - after coming out of the water.

I just like this picture - after jumping an obstacle, they always kick it into high gear in order to try and make the ideal course time and not incur time penalties.
 
Thanks for looking - hope I didn't get carried away with the pictures. 
Thanks also for the continued cards, thoughts, and prayers.
Love, Susan
