The Last Week of Summer Vacation

Last week was the boys last week

of summer vacation,

so I wanted to do some fun stuff.

Monday they were chopping corn silage.

Gabe loves too watch them chop.

Tuesday the boys went to play with

their cousins, Conner & Cameron

at MaMa's house.

Gabe is really going to miss his Tuesday

afternoons with her.

Wednesday the boys and I and

MaMa M., Conner, Cameron,

Logan, Jen & Brian all went to tour

the Herr's factory.

Being goofballs

Wednesday night we went to visit friends of ours,

who just had their first baby.

Thursday Caleb was suppose to go

mini-golfing with his youth group,

but it got canceled because of the rain.

He was so disappointed.

Saturday we were suppose to have a picnic

for the youth group at our house,

but hurricane Irene came through

and ruined our plans for that.

So we rescheduled.

Again Caleb was disappointed.

We got 5 inches of rain of the hurricane.

We could have used some of that

rain earlier in the summer.

Gabe was worried that our house

was going to flood,

because we had water coming in the basement.

Our greenhouse plastic came off again.

We had another tree come down in the meadow.

And more corn blow over.

Sunday we were going to take the boys to Harrisburg

to go to the Whitaker Center and to Bass Pro Shop,

but because of the hurricane we stayed home.

Again Caleb was disappointed.

It seems like the weather ruined a lot of our

August plans this year.

A busy morning
