Lake Party









Today we celebrated Jaynie Ferrari’s 9th birthday at Twin Lakes. The plan was to eat at noon. Knowing Mark’s sisters are always late, I thought if we showed up at noon, we should be about right. We arrived at noon and were the first ones there. Eating came later on. Packing for a day at the beach is like packing for a vacation with the amount of stuff needed. This lake had a little hike from the parking lot to the beach, so I took the little red wagon along. Not 20 feet from the car, we noticed we were being attacked by mosquitoes and bad. We had to stop and spray everyone before going on. They were so bad!! We got to the picnic tables and I felt like a horse stomping, moving, and slapping the mosquitoes away. The heat was unbelievably hot. Today was estimated to be the hottest day of the year with high humidity and heat index 112. The families arrived and Lori Ferrari went all out on food. She brought ribs, bakes beans, green beans, salads, cupcakes, and all kinds of fixins. After we ate great food, everyone headed to the water to try and stay cool. Everyone took turns on the baot. The little kids went with Mark and I and rode the tube. The older girls tried out skiing. On the beach, getting buried in the sand was the most fun for the kids. The water was nice and Luke liked sitting in his little boat floating around. Even though the heat was awful, we had a nice day.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
