We found this frog on the door when we got home.



At Cabelas
Today we decided to ride in the van to get chocolate milk and donuts.  We haven't been driving it since we got the honda.  We stopped at the gas station for gas.  The boys think its so funny when Daddy rides the "elevator" or  walks the "steps" as they watch him out the window.  When we went to start the van it wouldn't start.  Jared found someone to give us a jump but that didn't work.  The battery seems to be good and Jared thinks its probably the starter.  We pushed the van to the side and Jared checked a few things under the hood.  Then Jared called Darren and he gave him a ride home.  The boys and I walked to meijer for a tow strap and the boys picked out some candy.  Jared towed us in the van using the Mazda a couple miles away to the auto shop.  I was really nervous and pushed the brake as we started off - whoops!  Well, we made it there ok.  From there we went to get drinks and donuts.  We also stopped at the grain elevator to get chicken food.  This afternoon we took a trip to the Cabelas in Dundee.  Its a huge store and we had fun walking around in there.  They have so many cool taxidermy animals to look at. And they also have a nice walk through aquarium.  Jacob loved looking at all the fishing stuff.  We got some adjustable tent poles for our dining fly.   We stopped at Kroger to get groceries for subs, snacks and drinks to have on the trip home. We got home around 9:30.

Vikki and the kids came over around 11:00 today.  Then around noon Aunt Debbie and Matthew came over.  It was a really warm day.  We sat in the shade by the fire and visited.  Took some walks around the farm.  Matthew was trying to get the sheep to come to him with a handful of hay but they wouldn't come close.  I gave him a scoop of grain and they came for that.

Fun on the tree swing

Watching Uncle Jared check on the bees.  Both hives are doing great!  Isaac, Peyton and Vikki tried comb honey.

Got to hang out at Vikki's house today.  Melissa came over and I gave Evan and Jack a haircut.




The three boys had doctor appointments this afternoon.  

And Eli had a dentist appointment for a cavity.  He did really good and was acting so funny with his numb mouth.
