Post-Season Blogging

Okay, the figure skating season is over, as is the television season. I love summer, and there's always plenty to do and watch. For example, this morning, we drove to Lewiston (about a 30-minute drive) with the kids for a horse-riding faire for people with disabilities. We got to watch the kids ride horses twice--very cute!

It wasn't the first time George has riden a horse; he used to be in hippotherapy. It was Anna's first time, though. While watching George, I commented to their grandmother, "He's such a big boy, but looks so small." We think that Anna made a new friend in the gentleman who rode with her on her second ride. Knowing her, she probably was singing about horses and neighing the whole time. I wanted to tell the guy, "You don't get to keep her; she's ours!" It was very fun.

So school is out on Wednesday, and the summer schedule begins. Both kids will be in summer school, and our local pool is open starting next Friday, so they'll be there everyday. It's a very fun place, and both kids are such waterrats.

As far as TV goes, I said when I started this blog that I also wanted to talk about "media." Figure skating kinda got in the way of that, as it should have, so now I should have the time. I'm looking forward to the 2007-2008 season--some of the skaters who took this post-Olympics season should be back, like Sasha Cohen, Irina Slutskaya, and Evgeni Plushenko.

So I will try and blog nightly and report on my media musings until the start of 07-08 season in October.

Irina is pregnant with her first child. She withdrew from COI this summer because of it. It was posted on the site at one point. So, there is a possibility that she might compete during the 2007-2008 season, but I kinda doubt it.
