Hey everyone! Mom and I went to Minneapolis and met with Mayor R. T. Rybak. He is very nice and said if his daughter’s graduation party does not interfere he would ride his bike with us on Saturday, June 6. Chip loved when my mom rode with him. Mayor Rybak also said he was very excited about my ride and the ride on June 6, 2009. We took a picture of him giving me the Proclamation declaring Saturday, June 6, 2009 as onegirloneride Day in Minneapolis. Thank you Mayor Rybak and your great staff. The Mayor suggested that we go and see if Sheriff Stanek was in his office so that we could meet him. I got to meet Hennepin County Sheriff, Richard Stanek. He has a really beautiful office with a cool gun collection and some really old sheriff’s badges. Sheriff Stanek put us intouch with Sergeant Steven Hartig, Volunteer Liaison Coordinator of the Patrol Unit. We talked about the ride on June 6. Thank you Sgt. Steven Hartig for all you hard work. Hi! Minneapolis Mounted Patrol. I can’t wait to see your beautiful horses and ride with you. You Rock!
Then mom and I called Hoofed Animal Rescue and talked to Drew. We want to cart at “The Ranch”. There are two donkeys at the rescue. They are so cute. There are some really beautiful horses there too. The fillys and the colts are so cute. They love attention. They were running and playing. Please think about adoption. Thank you Drew for all the work you do to save and help the animals. See you soon.
Then mom called Jim and Joyce Johnson of Princeton and told them that we were near by. Just like we hoped they invited us over for dinner. Mrs. Johnson is a really good cook. Wyatt, Sydney and Dylan were over and we played in the basement while mom and the Johnsons talked. Until 1:45 am!!!! I have not heard mom laugh so much in a long time. Seeing the Johnson family made me miss all of the great people we met last summer even more. Hi, Grandpa and Grandma Sloot!!
