Update and TR story

I went back down to the train station tonight while it was still light and had a pretty cool idea. I stood about three feet away from the edge of the platform and videoed the train while it was coming in. It was pretty scary because I was watching the train through the screen but could see it out of the corner of my eye, but not well enough to know exactly where it was. It was wicked loud and windy and I was afraid that I would lose my balance or something and fall into it and die haha. I took some pictures of people getting on and off the train (I was actually brave enough to ask if I they would mind, yay me!!). I haven't looked at them yet, so I don't know how they came out. I videoed the train leaving in the same way. So what I'm going to do, I hope, is start with the train coming in, have a slide show and some of the speeches that turned out okay, and then have the train leave. Kinda fun.

I also went to the horse barn tonight to watch Catie (Catherine) and Brian ride and meet their mom, Joyce. I learned a bit more about Catie and Brian, chatted with Joyce a bit and took some still pictures and videos. I was also talking to Becky, one of the volunteers while I watched Catie groom her horse, Paige. Becky started talking about how much she enjoyed helping with that class because the kids were better riders, and she could see the progress they made through each week and the different things they had learned. I took some pictures, but they all came out really bad. It was really dark in the arena and I didn't want to use my flash. I would feel really bad if it scared one of the horses and one of the kids got hurt. They were also really blurry. Maybe by next week I'll have figured a way to fix that...
