Super Fun Saturday

 Jack, Jace and Abe were picked up at the shop at 7:30 am and we went straight to Casey's to pick out donuts. Jack wanted a chocolate long john, Jace wanted a sprinkle donut and Abe just wanted something with chocolate icing. Well that first Caseys didn't have any long johns OR any donuts with sprinkles so we left that one and drove to the one in Hanna City and hit the jackpot or so it seemed. There was only 1 chocolate long john and 1 vanilla so both of those were purchased along with 2 donuts with sprinkles, one chocolate and one vanilla and Abe Judah got his iced chocolate. The boys had to wait the 4 miles home to before biting into them.

It didn't quite turn out as expected. Jack bit into his and there was pudding in the middle. He thought it looked like pus and couldn't eat it. The white one also had pudding in. We tried to just take the pudding out but the thought of that pudding dripping down just took his appetite away. Abe only likes licking the chocolate icing off his donut
but Jace ate both of his. Poor Jack. I was laughing so hard at his reaction and kept telling them all pudding really does taste good. They finished up with a big cup of milk.
From there we went out to the barn. Mike was there putting a new hinge on the barn gate. The boys played on the hay while the gate was hung.
Karin, Isaiah, Magda and Kayla arrived to take Irish and Ripper out to Middle Grove and bring back the 3 walkers.  Abe decided to climb into the skid steer so Jack and Jace climbed on too.
Below they are pretending Abe is driving too fast.
I needed to move in some round bales so the boys were told to jump on the tramp to stay out of the way while the first one was brought out.
The weanlings were going to be moved into the short shelter so the boys were taken down to the house and told to hold the door shut so when the horses were moved if they got loose they wouldn't be able to get inside. (I needed to keep them safe from getting stepped on.) Sarah arrived with Zion and Eden so took the boys on a golf cart ride while the other two bales were moved. When they came back from the ride Mika was brought inside so Zion and Abe could help with the grooming. 
Sarah Reinhard arrived to start tacking up. Below she is grooming Oksana.
Meanwhile the kids had gone behind the barn and found ice to lick.
Karin arrived with the horses from Middle Grove.

They got them all tacked up and headed out to the trails.
Anna arrived with her girls and Berlica came over with them.


Mark and Mackenson spent the morning removing the fencing from the gate down to the corner. We are doing that as the barn is going in this field and some of the bigger trees will need to come down. Mark doesn't want any big limbs falling on the new barn. 
After the barn is built we will need to put up a different fence line so the stallions will still have a pasture. Sarah took all the kids to the playground wile I finished moving bales. Mom came out to join us in the sunshine. The kids played in the playground, collected cattails from the lake for the fluff, climbing trees and had just having a lot of fun playing together. It was such a beautiful sunny warm day for Feb 27th. 

Below Sarah is giving golf cart rides.

Below Faith is showing grandma her book for Co-op. 
Sarah took Ben and Taunya's boys home so mom, Anna, Diane and I went out on mom's balcony to enjoy the sunshine. Mom even made her lunch and brought that out on her special tray.
Dan and Abram arrived to work on mom's solar system.
While we were sitting on the balcony I got an inquiry for the apartment for tonight. These people wanted late check out. It is much easier to answer them on the computer so Anna and I took the golf cart home. I answered them yes they could have late check out and immediately the apartment booked. Anna had it all set up for the big group coming in that needed the pacNplay and when I looked at who booked it mentioned they had 2 children plus and infant. I sent a message to them asking if we should leave the pacNplay set up and the answer came that they don't have an infant. Turned out there were two different people both for tonight. Kyle wanted late check out while James had actually booked the apartment. We made taco salad for lunch. After lunch Anna went back up to the apartment to put in the cookies and remove the pacNplay. This afternoon the hamburger was browned for tomorrow's meal which is going to be crock pot lasagna. For supper tonight I made chicken stir fry. This evening apple crumb cake and brownies were made for dessert tomorrow but of course we had to make sure it was edible and each had a small slice of the crumb cake. It was a very productive fun Saturday. IF you would like to see the rest of today's pictures click HERE.  Stephanie sent the picture below:
