{summer activites}

Whew, I'm actually burned out from all the summer fun.  Bring on the fall colors and the smell of school bus exhaust!
Between gymnastics on Monday, Baseball on Tuesday and Thursday and normal farm chores, raising a puppy and the real estate busy season; I cant remember my middle name all of a sudden.  Yah, but it's the good kind of busy, the kind that you look back on and have stories to tell so it's all worth it.

Cami at Laketown gym every Monday for 60 mins.:

 

Nice job!!  She's moving up to the next level.

 

 

Cub at the ball field every Tuesday and Thursday:

First up was pitching machine league, Cub played up with the 3rd and 4th graders for the summer.  Then Community Ed granted him permission to play in the kid pitch league which ran back to back with the first league. It was a lot of baseball and he soaked up every second of it.  The first video below shows his pitching debut.  He was sidelined earlier in the season with a torn biceps and we weren't sure if he was going to heal up in time.

Cub was a tad nervous about getting hit by a pitch when this league started.  I told him it wouldn't hurt as bad as he was imagining. Hopefully he'd get hit sooner rather than later so he can get over the fear of it.  The photo above shows him getting hit by the first and only pitch in this league, right in the shoulder blade.

Farm chores everyday:

Now that is breeding season we have to grain feed the goats when we feed everything else.  Doing the daily patrol looking for overall health, fence stability, and keeping contact with the animals so they stay friendly.

Walter follows Dan into the pen and sometimes gets left behind for a while.

We move the pig pen every week so they have fresh forage along with their food.  After a day or so they have rooted it all up and the place is a pig sty!      Hardy har har! 
Walter! stop eating the pig food thru the fence!

Tundra with a few of the ladies...looking forward to kids in about 6 months.
