Big Gators in a Little Pond

When Alli and Dad were here last weekend, we decided to head down to the pond and check out the fishing. We'd been told earlier in the week that the fishing was really good. So some of us were going to fish in the boat and some were going to plink with the BB gun. But, when we got to the pond, here's what we saw...

On first count, we saw 8.

They're lined up like stepping stones, but I don't think I would try it with these guys!

Dad, Alli, and Will all saying "I don't think I'm getting in that boat!"

They kept moving around and our count kept going up.

Look how big they are! We figured they were an average of 6-8 feet.

Final count: 13 big ole gators!

Pure Joy

This was taken at Coon Hollo Corn Maze when we were there last weekend. It's a look of pure joy and silliness.

My Favorite Chore

One of my favorite chores as a kid was cleaning tack. It smells good and it's kind of soothing. I cleaned Annie's harness this morning and Kaity got in on the action. She helped for quite awhile and then said "this is fun!" I agree. And, it can be her new personal chore.

PS - Cleaning Annie's tack didn't take any time at all. When I was a kid, it always seemed to take all day. I guess that's the difference between two ponies and one and having a smaller pony.

Self-Portraits

Kaity always likes to take pictures of herself. Usually they are pretty funny with a kind of "up-the-nose" look to them. When Allli was here last weekend, they both got some self-portraits in.

This one is from earlier in the week, but a good self-portrait of Kaity.
