Saturday Update

We just got back from the worst banquet ever, and I am too tired, and cranky to blog about the results of the day.

Except. We all kicked ass (mostly) and all had a great day.

Tag had an awesome Gamble opening and racked up tons of points. He missed the end gamble by a tunnel. :o) His Standard was good- and there was some really great parts. He had a bar or two I think. His jumpers was a little wild. It again had some pretty moments, but mostly Jo wants to forget about it.

Kaleb did great. He ran clean in Jumpers and Standard, and had a great Gamble opening, but didn't get the end gamble. His Jumpers run was beautiful, and he never stepped one foot out of line.

Gyp had a great day too- her Gamble was breathtaking and she had no problem with the end gamble. Her Jumpers run was flawless. Her standard run was beautiful- except for the first two obstacles. She had a little melt down before she went in to the ring and Sarah had to work extra hard to keep Gyp from being nervous. Thankfully, Gyp recovered and the rest of the run was gorgeous.

Wicca had an awful start to her day. Apparently it is a tradition to have a FIVE POINT run at Nationals. She was completely wild, and did not listen to me. It was rough. She redeemed herself with the gamble, although still had weave issues. She got the gamble though, but had an average opening. Her standard run at the end of the day was awesome. We had two bars, although only got called for one. It was a great run though, and a great way to end the day.

The banquet was a bust. Seriously. :o) It sucked. But the company was good- our table was fun, and we mostly had a good time. :o)

Wish us luck tomorrow!

We are hanging on your every word and anxiously awaiting your updates!

The pics are great but make us homesick for the our summer days past in Ottawa, swimming and sailing on the river.

Sounds like you are having some good runs. Be steady and calm on Sunday and have a great GoDogGo Good Day!

Sounds like you guys had a pretty great day. Wicca wouldn't be Wicca, if she didn't blow you off at least once! Have fun tomorrow!
