We just finished our Blue Seminar in Oklahoma.  It was great.  We have 9 which gave us a lot of get to know you and visit time to learn about others programs, how and what they do, etc.

Team building was great to practice and learn form.  It was pretty funny to see some of the ways we thought as a team doing different exercises.  I am sure Greg had his ears full with all the laughing and arguing over should we be a “hostile take over” or should we give in! LOL

We had people from MO, OK, TX, KS and England!  Our local paper gave us a nice splash on the front page and we will submit a story for area papers with pictures.

One of the neatest exercises was Extended Appendages with 3 seniors from the area high School. We had fresh faces and insights.  Not to mention how fun they were in the exercise.    5 of our group were totally new to EAP training, so it was really great.  One guy was especially good at thinking out side of the box and by the 2^nd day of the seminar, everyone on his team was looking at Travis for ideas and solutions.

Our laziest and quietest POA mare, Mini, who is 19 and has good and bad days, was the liveliest one in Billiards and the one most resistant to the idea of someone bossing her around.  I actually think the horses might have had as much fun running from the team as we did watching them J

Our weather is normally very mild in OK this time of year, but we had summer temps with spring winds. The rain came this morning, about 3 and the cold front hit, so the timing was perfect!

We plan to host another one next fall, so be thinking about what you would like.  We are probably going to have a 2 day seminar next time in hopes that more can break away and attend. Hope those who have seminars on the boiler enjoy theirs as much as we did ours.
