The kids had swimming lessons so we went to the park while they had their class. Harrison is getting super scary in what he is willing to do without any thought of caution. He saw James climbing the monkeybars so he followed him right up.
Harrison thinks he's big stuff, and he's pretty strong too!
My niece Janette lives with her parents while her husband looks for work so James and Harrison had a lot of fun playing with her two boys Joshua (4) and Caleb (2). They had the most fun riding all the bikes.
This has to be the coolest tricycle I've ever seen! I think someone might have made this in their back shop so I doubt I could find one for James. It was also the biggest source of contention with all the kids wanting to ride it at once.
Jeff was put to work out in the field with the beefalo. This is a cross between cows and buffalo which makes for a leaner meat. One of the calves had pinkeye so they had to get it pinned in by itself. This meant getting all the cows into the second pasture and getting the calf off in a stall by itself. Jeff was great at running and whooping the get the cows to move. (Jeff is in the orange)
Little boys looking on at all the action.
The rest of the day the boys played in the yard and we relaxed. I helped Rashae with a family history project and helped edit a book she is writing about our grandparents.
Later that night Jeff got to help with a cow that had a growth on its neck. They had to pin the cow down and try to lance it with a big steak knife. (Sorry, no pictures!) My nephew Hans couldn't get it so Jeff got to try but it was so tough they couldn't pierce it. While Jeff was out being a cowhand, he managed to get attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes and his legs looked polka dotted.
