Norris Lake

Once Wanda was delivered this morning we headed for home to eat some lunch. Mark headed back out to the farm while I started loading the car with the cotton candy machine and snow cone machine plus all the supplies to make both. Mike and Diane took the ponies. Just as I got to the top of the hill, I see Knight and Duke, the 2 ponies grazing in the middle of the field in front of Norris Lake. This was very confusing, there are no trees and I'm sure they are not staked out. Karin is standing by the drive with a bunch of little kids around her and she yells the ponies are loose and won't be caught. Naughty boys! We had a lot of help rounding them up, Mike took a quick trip to the Farm King in Canton for a pony girth and 2 pony halters and as soon as the ponies were tacked up they were in demand. It is easily in the 90s so the snow cone machine was put into use during the heat of the day.
The rest of the evening was a lot of fun. We swam in the lake, some fished, some played volley ball, Ruth brought a big blow up water slide that the kids loved, and mom even went down it. Beth made everyone dinner of bbq pork chops, potatoes, salads, chips, and baked beans. There was birthday cake along with ice cream for dessert. Cotton candy was abundantly available after dinner, then it was back to the pony rides.
