In the beginning of June, Joshua and Farrah came down from Michigan for a surprise visit!! While they were here, we often went to Blue Springs for a ''quick dip'' in the morning before many people arrived. We had lots of fun, and a enjoyed being able to cool off from the hot sun.;)
 |
| Bo, had the idea to bring along a blow up mattress, which we used as a ''floating dock''. |
 |
| Also, while Joshua and Farrah were here, we made "healthy'' ice cream several times...''Farrah's baby wanted it!!"😉 |
 |
| While drying off from swimming, the little ones helped churn the ice cream. They were a big help!! |
 |
| Last week, a family from church gave us two male kittens. "Chauncy and Dicken" |
 |
| Anna-Frances holding Chauncey. |
 |
| Emaline in particular loves cats, and so she is the main care-taker. The lighter one is ''Chauncey'', and the darker one is ''Dicken''. (Mama and Daddy named them) |
 |
| Frankie's new favorite ''occupation'';} |
 |
| Alayna making cheese! (this turned out very well...at least, I think!😉) |
 |
| While some ''surprise visitors'' came to look at the new room in our barn, Alayna gave the children horse rides, which... |
 |
| they all thoroughly enjoyed!! |
 |
| Much needed rain, pouring down ahead a few miles...probably right on us!! |
 |
| Justice helping Frank get ready for church. |
 |
| Bo's new project...Flying in a paramotor!! Today he was able to get above the trees, but should be able to go much higher and faster, when he has the engine, rather than just kiting. |
 |
| Miss Harty, our vet friend, teaching Emaline how to read some vet papers.😊 |
 |
| Playing, "Destination USA'' with Joshua and Farrah!! |
 |
| While Joshua and Farrah were here, we also turned half of the loft in our barn into a guest apartment!! They had to completely take the roof off so that they could put the pine wood in for the inside roof, and spray foam. |
 |
| Joshua spray foaming. |
 |
| Ivan Morgan (who came and helped us), nailing the inside walls. |

 |
| Fitting the boards together...Emaline enjoyed helping as well!! |
