So I did a silly...OK Stupid thing last night. I went out four wheeling with my boys, that's not the stupid thing by the way, and we went back to the lake which is really low and I was riding around it and we were having fun until I attempted to cross a ditch that wasn't just a ditch it was 2 feet of quick mud. Yeah stupid I know! Anyway I spent an hour trying to get it unstuck while I had Gideon pressing the gas for me and Bridger "trying" to be a good sport on the side lines. Yeah so we just got more stuck and finally it was almost dark and I decided to call it quits and walk home with the boys. I made my shirt into a sling, I just took it off and turned it upside down and stuck him in it and wrapped it around my shoulders....Don't worry, I had a tank top under neath and I was the only one on the ranch at the time ;) Gideon didn't complain at all and walked great. We both didn't have any shoes on, his I just didn't put on before our ride and mine were just too muddy that I thought bare foot was better than chaffed skin with the mud and rocks involved.
So this afternoon Joseph went back with me and we "played" in the mud some more and finally got it out. So it is washed up and ready to go for another run ;0) Just not in the lake.

Wow! So, how far was the walk? What a creative idea with the shirt too!
P.S. I read your post about looking for good books... read the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The sequel is coming out Sept. 1st and is called Catching Fire. I enjoyed the first book and am excited to read the second one! I'm sure I've got a ton more book suggestions, so maybe I should take time and compile a list for you! As for the list you've made so far:
Chronicles was a VERY easy read. There didn't seem to be too much detail to it and I found that the movies stayed surprisingly close to the books. I was almost a little bored with a couple of the stories. The Boy and His Horse was one of my favorites, if I remember correctly.
Harry Potter: love love loved reading the books! They will definitely keep you busy since there are seven of them!
Jane Austen: I've been interested in her lately too. I've only read Pride and Prejudice so far. The writing style is a little different, but I think it is easiest if you start with one of the books that you have already seen as a movie.
Good luck!
That sucks! Good idea with your shirt! Have fun next time :)
