If I don't have a few pictures to help me remember -- I just might forget what we've been doing lately?! The end of August going into September we had 5 weekends in a row "life consuming" activity -- all FUN stuff -- but still kept us hopping!!
This is Anika with Hazel Kumm, her pen pal through her school. Hazel and Anika have been writing to each other for the past two years, and a special opportunity came up over Labor Day weekend. Hazel and her husband live in Nebraska, but were going to be in RC for a granddaughters baptism. We met at Armadillos for a quick bite of ice cream and a face-to-face moment!
Lars and I have had a bit more alone time... with the 3 big ones in school everyday. We've had a few days where there is just one hour between "errands" or "appointments" -- so we've made a few stops at the park, or taking the strider for rides. :) He is always happy for some "fun" after a boring LONGGGGG trip to the grocery store! (aren't we all??)
The Master's Challenge Bull Ride: an amazing weekend for our church family... defiantly a "work" weekend for us -- but an amazing outreach to our community. Dirk headed up the "trash bin" committee -- a project our whole family could help out with. We still got to see most of the riding events, including the mutton busting!! Anika summed it up best -- "I didn't know what to expect... but I totally forgot I was even at our "church"... and it was WAY more fun than I thought it would be!"
The Dove County Fair was the very next weekend -- a family adventure weekend! Needless to say I was slightly busy that day helping the set-up, tear-down and RE-SET Up in our basement/fellowship area due to extreme windy weather!! The is the only "good" picture I got from the day .... My 'real job" was to be in charge of the Pie Baking Contest. It was a HUGE success! No one was "counting people" but estimates were about 200 people!! A great day for families! A super fun weekend!!
The "busy" season is past -- at least for a few weeks.... Dirk and Thor are looking forward to Sunday afternoon football in the "man cave."
