The heat

August the 18-23 the heat was on! It was high 90's with high humidity. It was the unbearable hot heat that hits you the second you walk outside. The air is thick and heavy with humidity. You sweat within minutes and being outdoors feels terrible. One day the temperature was 96 with the heat index of 117! Every morning by the time I did chores, I was stinky, sweaty and needed a shower. Most days chores don't cause me to break a sweat. The grass in the mornings is so wet with dew it feels like we had a heavy rain overnight. Even the drain gutters have water dripping down. By the 25th, things were cooling down and the humidity vanished. The 26-29 the air was perfect, cool at night, warm during the day and low humidity. Jayden got to enjoy some nice Iowa days and got out of her own triple digit heat. 


 After a family gathering, the Ferrari's had a pool party, the cousins had a great time in the backyard pool.

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.
