Ready for Summer

We did a lot of things in May.

Summer is a busy time with parades and ball games and gardening and grandkid fun.

Some things we do every year and some things are new.

This year Jim and our neighbor decided to put their restored tractors on show and get some photos. The two on the left are Jim's.  The end on is the MT he got last fall and while it isn't completely restored it is in a usable condition and it as already seen duty as a plow and planter in our garden.  The others are Leroy's. 

One thing we do every year is clean out Lorene's pool with the vacuum excavating machine, scrub it down and she fills it and does all the chemical things so it's ready to swim in.

This year she bought a new pool because pool wear out, you know so we (well everyone but me who stood around taking photos) started from scratch.

I guess I helped pull the mostly empty pool out of it's place.  We were trying to keep the water inside and off the ground, but it didn't work.

Christian is taking gymnastics classes and his school had a "Showcase" and he got to show what he's been learning.  I've noticed a growth is arm strength because of this.

Christian turned nine this month.  We didn't have enough single candles to make 9, but we can all add.  He wanted Benny footprints and it was Zane's idea to use hardening chocolate.
