Crazy Day

 We had a crazy Sunday that started with Mark coming back from his morning walk saying the horses are in mom's yard then a text from Matt that the horses are on the dam. I grabbed a bucket of grain and drove to the dam but no horses. Found them in mom's yard behind the Kubota shed, hooked on to Sangria and Ripper and brought all 6 to my place. There was a knocked fence down at the cabin field. Mike and Diane are at Middle Grove so the horses were put in the middle paddock. I put Jewel out then checked on the two new fillies early. The sun was just coming over the tree line.

They are doing great. Jewel is not in labor and actually her udder has gone down. No waxing for the last 2 days so I'm not sure what is going on with her but I slept pretty good last night. We had a very good day in church. Gregg Rumbold had the morning message on the end time series then Mike Rieker had the afternoon message. After church Roger Zehr, his wife and daughter stopped in to see the horses.  Mike sent a text that Madiera had her foal and the foal is nursing well. It was too busy today to head out to pick them up and it is a nice day and evening so plans were made to go tomorrow. Mike and Diane are staying out tonight. They don't know if this foal is a filly or colt. We will have to wait until tomorrow to know that.  The food was taken over to the playground for picnic for our supper. Today is Lee's 37th birthday so Rhoda brought cupcakes for everyone after supper which was a big hit with the kids and adults.

After supper the volley ball games started up.

The kids were having a ball on the merry-go-round but they were very LOUD while playing. I made a short video and even turned the volume way down.

The volleyball games were fun to watch but mom decided to hit the ball, the ball hit her walker, bounced and slammed into her nose. Her glasses cut into her nose and her nose is now swollen. She will probably get a black eye out of it too. She really IS too old to be playing volleyball. 

We were laughing as the last two injuries she sustained were from her 2 different walkers. One gouged her leg and now the other deflected the volley ball. After the games the kids get the court.

We made a campfire and had s'mores for a sweet ending.

Nolan and Zion borrowed Karin's tent and are sleeping at the playground tonight while David's family are all staying in a camper at the horsebarn. They will all come for breakfast around 7:30 am. The motorhome made it to Yellowstone. Below are a few pictures from that trip.
