Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

The Players:

Our friends Brian and April.

Our lovely Johanna and her toad.

Ranger Rick.

Johanna's brother Seth.

Johanna's Dad Mike.
(Ever since he became Sheriff, I can't seem to get a photo of his face. I think he has learned how to avoid the paparazzi. JK.)

And Johanna's mom, Annette, who looks like she has her mouth full of something and is sporting Mark's secret
Elton John glasses.
(Everyone is going to kill me for posting these shots!)

And, of course, Mark and I of which I shall post no photos.
(Muaaahh.)

Last, but not least:
PUPPIES
Jo is dog sitting again and we all love it.

The Activities:

Games
Of which I have no photos because I was too busy getting beat.

Eating Lots of eating. These burgers are special.

Annette filled them with blue cheese and browned crumbled bacon. Fantastic.

Drinking
Of course, not just wine, but I thought the photo was pretty.

Story Telling.
There were some whoppers.


Hiking

Posey Pickin
Flowers are blooming everywhere right now.

Work

Quite a bit of work actually.
We consider our guests our slaves and this photo was taken right after they moved the greenhouse. Manually.

And then we had Brian use his skid steer to move our fire pit,
and clean the barn and aerate and compress the manure pile.

The sheriff helped build a new varmint proof chicken pen, as well.
Like I said we were busy.

But not too busy for our last activity.
Which is sleeping.

We had lots of sleepers cuddled up to these adorable puppies who made the weekend extra fun.
