Lemonade For Sale

Yesterday Cassidy had a lemonade stand. She was out there for about 2 hours and got 3 customers (4 if you count daddy). She was very excited with that. It was a good day to sell lemonade because it was in the 90's. In between customers she would sit in the shade.

New Camera

Matt got me a new camera for my birthday. I love it and will probably love it even more once I understand how to use it. I took these pictures of flowers from our yard.

Missy

Today will be a day Cassidy will remember for a long time. She got her first horse! Her name is Missy. She is a mild mannered mare and small in stature so she will make a great first horse for Cassidy. We will be keeping her at a friend's house until we can build a place to keep her on our property. Which is also good so that Cassidy can get used to her under the watch of our friend. Cassidy was very excited. I'm not sure how much sleep she will get tonight!

Homeless

Yesterday the kids had a blast watching a big machine demolish the small house right behind us. But probably what they enjoyed the most was watching the Raccoon family scamper out. A mama and her baby took off. The mama ran under the porch and the baby found refuge in the neighbor's bush. The children decided to try and capture the baby. Well...when mama realized what was happening (that being the raccoon mama because this mama still didn't know any of this) she came barreling at those kids full speed. She knocked Levi over! She didn't get the baby but she did her job in scaring the kids enough to stay away and leave her baby alone. And that's where the baby stayed the rest of the day. Matt took this picture of the baby for me. He even pet it! For those of you wondering...mama came and got the baby last night. The question? Where are they now?!!

Memorial Day

Today we went fishing. All that was caught was a big limb by Matt and some snails by Cassidy. She is going to keep them in a small container and feed them lettuce. Even though we didn't catch any fish we still had a fun time. We took a walk through the woods too. We love the opportunity to get out and enjoy what God has made.
