Pond Sailing Without A Sail

This is what the kids do when they're not at the lake...



From the NOT MUDDY Rock that I was able to stand on by the pond to take pictures, the light was terrible... Libby was funny about it though!



Three best friends in a tub...


The muscle dude who does the hard work...



Kelly doesn't like the fact that she is the only one who has to stay on the shore!



Sweet Sailing! (Without a sail...)

What A Fun Day!!!

What a fun day! To make a long story short, there was a homeschool rally at our capital (Jefferson City) today to oppose a bill that was to be passed that would have a big negative effect
on homeschoolers... sort of a long story. Anyway Mom and another homeschool mom who's family we are friends with went together to this rally sadly neglecting their 12 poor orphans (in all) left at home. That story probably could have ended disastrously but those 12 poor orphans happened to be very intelligent as well as poor. Together they quickly came up with the plan of making the most of this bad situation of neglect and decided to band together and survive the day together. So the Ymker kids jumped in the back of the old red farm truck and headed over to the Martin's.... And what a good idea it all turned out to be!!!


One of reasons it was such a great idea was Belle.... the new bunny.



There is nothing sweeter than a little baby bunny with floppy ears than.... well maybe a certain baby puppy with floppy ears....



Belle was just TOO adorable. My camera and photography skills did simply not do her justice!



Those big back feet were SO sweet and fuzzy!!
These pics. need a faster shutter speed I think... oops...


The girls got to feed Belle carrots, cabbage, and apples.... It was a GREAT idea....

And THEN.... ha ha....MORE FUN......

Emma saddled up her Morgan Tempest...

And walked in circles many times giving three little girls rides... ... ... ...

Kayla loved it!!!

Kelly waited.... ... ... ....

Libby-Lou was a bit apprehensive but she insisted that she wanted to AT LEAST make it back to the gate where she started. She did!!

And then it was Kelly's turn! The helmet was a little big.. :) It kept falling over her eyes!

Kelly had lots of fun! And Emma was so nice!

My turn!!!!
Our plan was such a G R E A T idea!!!! We had so much fun....
