Local Fun: Dogs, Goats and more...

It started to feel like fall around here for a few days... then got really hot again. I've been getting the cool weather clothes out of the shed and packing away every one's summer clothes... not a small task since the kids are all growing... finding mittens, boots, pants that are long enough, waists that fit right... it's something I dread when the seasons change! I did get a lot of new clothes at the St. Luke's consignment sale which we look forward to every year... We line up before hand and when they open the doors Margaret and I run in and she heads one way and I head the other looking for all the things on our list before anyone else can grab them! We found a great rolling Dr. cart for the girls since they love playing vet and doctor... and a new larger swing for Abby.

While I sorted clothes, with AP's help, Patrick took the girls to the Farm festival, an open house for several farms in our county...

The girls actually let me french braid their hair this day. It's so much work to get them coordinated and ready to go... and then their dad gets to have all the fun while I stay home organizing and packing lunches and getting clothes lined up for the week... wish their was more time in life...

One of Abby's favorite things to do is to feed the goats...

Riding her big girl bike w/ her brother's help... sissy was helping Bubby at a craft show for the weekend...

Now that summer is over, they have resumed the "Read to the Dogs" program at the library. "Robbie" is a fan of Abby's. He likes to listed to her read "Biscuit" books...
