Saturday was a very busy day for the guys. First was the pigs, then they did some tree trimming with Gary Bills, and then they did some mowing with Uncle Dave's tractor over at the barn and behind our trailer. In three of the pictures the tractor got stuck and Denny pulled him out with the plow truck. Later on Den built a fire out back and we had a cook out.
Today is the day that the pigs had there last day at the barn. they left for the butcher shop this morning around 8:30. It didn't start off according to plan, first they really didn't want to get into the box on Den's trailer, then they went through the door that goes into the cow's pen and almost got out. Just as that was happening Lynnwood comes down to help. He gets right into the cow pen with yucky stuff up to his ankles and chases them back into the barn. After fighting with them for about 10 minutes, he puts a bucket on their heads and walks them bakwards to the door and flips them over onto their back so they are facing the box for them to get into. He did that with all three of them. So thanks Lynnwood and sorry to Carrie for getting him covered in pig slop, at least it wasn't a cow this time.
On Saturday was my dad's family reunion. I'm glad that I decided to go, it was a lot more fun than I had thought it would be. I saw more of my family that I hadn't seen in awhile. There was kayaks you could paddle around the pond. There was also a zip line you can go down, I wasn't brave enough to go down it, but my sister was. I took video of it and will post it next I hope that it will play. Let me know if it doesn't and then tell me how to fix it please. The third picture if of my dad and his fiance, they are getting married on October 27, 2007.
On Monday Olivia started a program called Leap into Learning at Purchase Line. It lasts two weeks, the bus picks her up at the end of the driveway at 7:30 in the morning and drops her off at 12:30. They serve them breakfast when they get to the school, this will help them get used to going through the lunch line when school starts, then they go to class and have a story, craft, and learn a song, they also have a snack before they leave. She is excited about going I just hope she is this excited when school actually starts.
Happy Fourth of July to everyone. We had a pretty good day. Wes and his kids were up and we hung out with them and did some riding and some fishing in Dave and Carole's pond. Kaylee out fished the boys catching the only 2 bass that were caught, most everyone caught at least one fish so nobody was left feeling down about not catching anything.
