Snapping Turtles

Dad and Ben enjoyed catching 8 snapping turtles this summer. Most of them came out of our pond!

 

The turtles are in the plastic tubs. Some of them had a couple turtles in.

This was one of the biggest turtles!

A Few More Pictures

Father's Day

This is the truck some of our peeps came it this time.

Flowers all ready to be picked up for Laura and Brian's wedding.

I enjoyed getting to decorate the cake table with ivy and flowers.

This is a sweet picture of the new couple visiting with Lloyd and Orpha,
who share the same wedding day, and were celebrating their 66th anniversary.  

Spending Time With the Marasco's

Out at the pond....

I think everyone enjoyed feeding the fish.

Sarah liked holding the frogs we had hatched from tadpoles.

These look like happy girls!

What a big boy!

Hannah, Sarah, and Daniel did a good job helping feed the baby goat!

Daniel found a cozy spot on Grandma Hackenberger's swing

Ben liked the time he got to spend with Dan, especially playing football.

Hannah and Sarah enjoyed spending time with Aunt Julia.

Ben and Julia played in the pond until it was time to go to the Graybill's for a hayride.

Anna was all bundled up for her first hayride!

We met Uncle Rich and gave him supper while we were on the hayride.

Angela and Rich enjoyed the ride together.

So did Dan and Melissa.

We also stopped and saw Michael and Trisha's new house.

Some Pictures

Lassie was a naughty dog and tore her pillow all apart.  It looked like it snowed in her pen!

This baby bird hatched out of one of the nests that were in our hanging pots.

Anna is still chubby!  She is so sweet.

Mom got her a new bonnet at Peight's Store.  Doesn't she look cute in it?

Guess what is in the basket?

A baby goat!  He likes to come running out of the pen to get fed.

Weeding at church

Anna is getting big enough to be put in a jumpy seat for a few minutes.  She doesn't jump at all, but does enjoy it,
as long as it doesn't last too long!

Ben loves swimming in the pond!

Catching Sunfish

Ben, Dad, and I enjoyed catching some sunfish in the crick.  Ben and I started first,
but we didn't catch any until Dad came down and helped us : )

These are the fish; they look a lot prettier in real life.

Ben was quite pleased with the catch!
