Career Day

At the beginning of the year Riley's teacher asked each parent to come in and talk to the class about what they do for a career. Ry decided a long time ago that I don't really work, and Cory's real job is too boring to talk about at school...so she asked her dad to come in and talk about the ranch. Cory took the day off last Friday and went in and told the kids about life on the ranch. To get ready for the presentation we made a poster of some of Riley's favorite pictures from our trips to the ranch. We also took the computer and showed the kids a few video clips of Riley riding 'ole Joe up by the barn. The other kids were amazed that Riley could ride the horse all by herself! Cory told the class about the work they do on the ranch, and had a discussion about branding. Riley also picked a few of her favorite ranch stories for Cory to tell (Clarissa's rattlesnake story made the cut!). Ry loved having her dad come to school, and the rest of the kids were really interested in the ranch and what Riley gets to do when she visits there.

Ry was paying attention!
