Copper Olympics update
Hey all I just wanted to give you an update on the Copper Olympics. Well today is the last day of Copper Olympics so the tension is more tense than my Dad doing bills. We just finished for the day and today's sport was horse racing! Believe it or not I was the smallest person on my team so, I was the jockey! I rode a Quarter Horse, no, no not the horse in front of Walmart that you put a quarter in. I mean a real horse! We went to a place called Bronco Ridge and we rented horses for the day. Each horse had a name to fit his or her personalty. My Uncle Buddy suggested I go with a horse named Maple Molasses, but I knew that horse was to slow and Uncle Buddy is on the opposite team so he just wanted me to lose. So I chose a horse named Thunder Bolt. He was so big I had to get a ladder to climb up on him. When I got on the lady holding him asked if I was ready to go riding. When I said I was I clucked with excitement and Thunder Bolt took off ,well like a bolt! I was saying every thing like, I'm going to die and I'm sorry I took little Liz's chocolate bar in preschool. Well with her acne I was doing her a favor, but nothing got Thunder to stop. I figured some word had to get him to stop because clucking was what got him to go, but what made him stop? All of a sudden in my train of thought a branch came and almost hit me. I said Whoa that was close and right when I said that Thunder Bolt stopped right after we crossed the finish line! We won!!!! I am so happy I really had my eye on that Tempur-pedic Dog bed! Yes, we where going to give a golden dog bone to the winner of the Copper Olympics, but some one ate it. But I am soooo happy that Team Copper won the gold!
