More pool pictures---and some new babies!!

Today, I spent the day with "My" girls in an unusual (but interesting) way...

 

I took them to swimming lessons (their first ever) in Napoleon.  :)

 

 Tracy Jo loved it (I'm sure you can tell by that grin!),

 and Johanna got in the water, but wasn't so sure about everything. 

I'm guessing she'll be a lot more comfortable in the water by the time lessons are finished!

 

After getting dried off, the girls played with their friends

 (children of a neighbor who also babysits the girls) at the park...

 

 Then we had a picnic... 

 (And no, those fruit snacks were not even touched.  They were in the lunch-container

and Johanna emptied the entire contents to see what we all had available to eat.)  :)

 Ella S. found a little robin and the children built a nest for it in a nearby tree...

 I took the girls home for their (late) naps, then their grandparents came, so it was nice to visit with "Grandma Patti" for a few minutes, as I don't get to see her very often.

 

Meanwhile, back at the farm, thanks to Andrew (who went to Mandan today),

 our barn now is home to 3 new bottle calves!!!   (The old batch is NOT very happy tonight!)

 Aren't these red heifers adorable???   I tried getting a good picture of the black heifer, but she is quite shy for the time being and tried crawling out of her pen when I was near, so I let her be.

 

That's my news of the day.  I'm sure my family would have more to add, as I know Dad and Jacob were cutting ditches over by Hazelton and that my mom was mowing lawn.....................................

but,

those are their stories to tell, if they so desire.  :)
