New chicks

The Chicks arrived yesterday. 3 were in bad shape. The first one died 5 hours later, the second this morning, and the third I can't even tell it was near death. But, there is another one that isn't walking well, so the death wait starts.

July's party

Uncle Tom brought his snake up from Dallas for vacation. Who doesn't like a snake crawling over their foot?  Abby brushed Bingo out after her bath.Another summer, another Grandmas' Day Camp. We bleached the t-shirts this year. We're ready for farm day. The kids helped choosing new chicks.The junglegym is always a hit.These two must be watched to make sure the chicken isn't taken into the house. Emmy is queen of climbing.

Summer Fun

So June found us getting the RV somewhat presentable so we could drive it to the lake for the July 4th weekend.Will and Abby love to feed the chickens.They also have to play with Bingo.Of course that leave them with a stench that can only be cured with frog water.

Friday Night Fun

Will grabbed a corn holder, stabbed it in an ear he found and went to chomping.He then climbed up to a glass he found and started slurpping down the rootbeer.Trevor, with instruction, installed the shower base in the RV.Will, Abby and Emmy checked out the overhead bunk.I think Abby had watermelon juice running down her arms.Mmmmm...watermelon.Fun at grandma's includes staying out late and capturing lightning bugs.

Another Sunday

Once again a playgroup came to visit the 'farm'.The older ones choose to dig a tunnel to the coop.Sunday dinner wasn't served fast enough for Will. He sat for 10 minutes waiting for the food. After dinner fun was waving sticks around.All were armed and dangerous.

RV fun

Well, I didn't get my garden in (raised beds didn't get their dirt in, etc.) but I do have these two tomato plants working.I also transplanted some hostas from Mandy's.The kids kept busy until it was time for the RV ride.A slight distraction from fixing the RV.Yes its running. Now we work on the interior.Steve did manage to put a sliding door in for the bathroom.     Mandy turned the big 31.

While I'm Away

While I was away in St. Louis, working in the temple (which I do every 4th Mon-Wed) Steve organized a work day. Steve had replaced the carpet in the front part and put in new wood floors in the kitchen and bathroom. Matt and Trevor were in charge of putting in the new bathroom vanity in the RV. We still have to put in a sink, counter-top and new shower. And then the wall and door will go up.   Steve worked on the roof while the boys were busy.Mandy and the kids picked strawberries, gathered and boxed eggs, and the kids enjoyed I don't know what in the basement.Bingo the dog did her dog thing.
