Ballard's

Ballard's came to stay with us for a couple of days. They have come up for Jake's birthday three times now. They make great, easy company. Mike took the kids to the pond to train the dogs. When they got back they shot clay pigeons. The kids start hunters safety soon, they will be naturals. 

Jake and Gracie played a couple games of pool. I should have recorded them. They were saying the funniest stuff, using pool terms and acting like pros. 
Josie was delighted with the idea of having a sleepover with Gretchen. She wanted to sleep downstairs so bad until all the kids started falling asleep. She came upstairs crying because Gretchen wouldn't tickle her back. Dean talked her into sleeping in her own bed. 
On Jake's birthday I taught him how to drive the four-wheeler; he loved it!
We went to Bear Lake one day and had a good time as usual.
This is what real moms do at Bear Lake, blow up & deflate floaties. Jake wanted to take these shells home and because that is sick, I talked him into a picture instead.
Friday we played at the fair and Saturday we went to the demolition derby. The kids loved it but Ang decided next time she was going to wear a tube top so we fit in a little better. Sunday we went four-wheeling and stopped at this trough to get a drink (no sign of diphtheria yet). Dean gave Jake a little bath, he didn't love it.
Gretchen and Gracie tried to build a dam but lost interest before they stopped any water.
