SYC 2009

9.26.09

Dad was asked to be a guide for the SYC (Special Youth Challenge) deer hunt this year. He had a great time - his hunter even shot a deer!! It is such a great experience with some very amazing people. Those kids are soooo excited & happy :) Mom even got to see Ty - the boy she got to guide last fall. He asked her 3 times if she would sit with him for breakfast - it was fun to see him :) If you want to learn more about SYC check out their website www.syciowa.com

PIG SHOW

9.17.09

As we were headed to the truck tonight after walking around the fair we walked through the hog building - it was around 9p.m. A young girl was walking her pig to the center show ring. Her name was Gensley - she is 3 1/2 years old. Her dad said it is her turn at night to show her pig (she has 3 older brothers) - she did awesome!!! She asks "Who is going to watch me?" We stuck around to watch - & she even gave me some pointers :)

Mom was pretty impressed - she thought I was a natural! THANKS for the great experience Gensley :) See you next year - I will come watch you show again :)

The last week or so have been amazing around here - the monarch butterflies have been covering the trees out in the pasture. They must like all the prairie flowers!! I have had a few caterpillar friends this summer.....
