Thursday July 28

I am starting to feel so unprepared for our San Diego trip in a few days!!!!!!!

I am so excited, but still need to get things ready!

It is the drive that I am needing to focus on.......how in the world will we survive that long in the car?!?!?!?!

Together!!!!!!

But then we will have a nice week to relax...before we have to do the drive again ;)

Elsie had speech therapy this morning.

Cassi went with the boys and they sold lemonade at our Mary lane entrance.

They made $10 in about 1 1/2 hours.

Not too bad :)

But then it got too hot, so they came back home.

While they were doing that, I went with Brent to fix up some wire on our neighbors land.

We wanted to move our cows up there because we are worried about the amount of grass we have in our field.

And with Bubbles cows in there the last little while, they just don;t have much to eat.

So Brent has been stressing.

He and Bubbles talked to their neighbor about using their empty field......

But it was also a stressful situation, because we would have to get the cows there.

And that means leading them towards Locust grove, and cars......

Well, I stopped by Billy and Vern's to get some wire, and they said to just put them in their field while we were gone so we wouldn't have to worry.

But Brent felt bad taking food from Billy's cows.....the other neighbor has no animals on his field.....

But we decided that would probably be the best plan, at least for while we are gone on our trip.

We came back home and finished cleaning the garage up.

And guess what?????

Both cars fit in there!!!!

Yay!!!!!

Another big project checked off the list!

Well, no it is not done, 

But it is now usable and we have a lot less to go through when we get time to go through it :)

At about 3:00 we went to the Morgan's house for a swim.

It was SOOOO hot today! 

And it will only get worse the next few days!

Anyway....

We didn't leave there until about 6:30.

I hadn't gone grocery shopping like I have been planning to the last few days.....

There was nothing to eat, so we went and grabbed some burgers.

After I jumped in the shower I went to the store to get some necessities and a whole bunch of treats and junk for the car ride......

When I got home it was time to move the cows.

You never know how it will go.

First, Brent fixed Bubbles fence and we moved Bubbles cows back into her field.

They were easy.

They are a lot smaller and much less intimidating!

Then we moved ours....

First one got away and down the path between the Edwards two properties.

We ignored him and focused on the other one and we got him down there pretty easily.

Then Madi and I jumped on the Mule and had to go the long way around back by the Morgan's house to push the other cow back up the path and into the gate from that side.

It actually worked out pretty well :)

So that stress is gone.

I do have to say though, I am enjoying our neighborhood round ups more and more :)
