December 24 - Christmas eve on horseback

José picked up Lily and I and we headed up to J.E.E.P. at 9 a.m.   I had ear mite salve with me and I treated the ears of 8 cats while Lily walked dogs.

I had to hold a dog with one hand while Lily took photo

I lured the cats in with Friskies soft cat food.  Then it was time to get ticks off a dog.  Meanwhile a volunteer Mexican trainer gave horseback rides to some visiting children.

I was fortunate to get a wonderful Christmas present as the horse needed exercise and they have a nice arena.  

Little dog who loves to ride horses too.

After some horse grooming and washing it was time to return to the park.

We had Appy hour on our street then around 6:30 it was time for some cross-cultural Christmas eve events.  The Mexican campers and families of park staff sang a Christmas carol in Spanish then the Canadian and American campers sang a song in English.  This went back and forth for quite awhile.  After that it was piñata smashing time.
