Enjoy water

we went to the pond

enjoyed some "shark" marsmellows

tried out boiling water over the fire

jumped in a few more times

Olga took most of these pictures

 

Atwood

We went to Atwood for Canada Day

They have a great playground

the kids loved it

I think we'll do it again

 

First of July pictures

Our annual picture 

Includes Esmee for the first time

Olga got to hold her

Nice weather to be at the pond

 

Storms

When it’s hot you get thunderstorms 

Radar warning 

The rain starts

But below the clouds the sun already comes

A rainbow on the other side of the house 

And a gorgeous sunset 

 

Barn stuff

Esmee came for a visit 

To the barn where we had coffee with the hooftrimmer 

We also sorted sheep

 

Twilight

Calves had a ball to play with

But they played with the straw

Narrow feed allee

Newest part of the barns

2 would have liked to see them at work

Young animals had some skin problems but it usually disappears by itself 

In the middle was the old bank barn

Several different manure systems 

Lots of people were out, over 400

 

Soccer

 

We went to Brantford 

For soccer 

Lots of games going on at the same time 

Half way freezies 

Some won by lots

Some had to be reminded which goal they were supposed to aim at

After the games there was ice cream 

Enjoy the pond

Pizza on the dock

Swimming 

Campfire 

All together
