Summer Part 3

The happenings of late...

Cutting down and cleaning up the sweet corn patch

 

 Watching the crop-duster.

They are using a helicopter to blow the pollen onto the silks.

Attending Matt's white coat ceremony.

 

 

Some of us ran a 5K at the Arthur Cheese Festival.

 

Matt's time: 26:14.61

Andrew's time: 27:46.68

Lydia's time: 34:59.73

 

Bethany's time: 37:47.38

Carolyn's time: 37:47.98

 After the race

 

Had to get picture with the cheese and rat.

 Jennifer and I: both 3rd place winner's in our respective age categories... obviously I had the advantage of not having many people in my category. Lydia placed second in my same category and Matthew placed 2nd in his.

Miniture Golf

A fun evening of miniature golf!

Getting ready to play. We had 2 teams since there are 8 of us.

Andrew

I think this was the time it took me 6 to get it in the hole.

Lydia making sure everything's lines up before she putts...

...and there it goes!

Matt ready for his turn

Some of us had to use these ;-)

On this particular hole, I think Andrew was the only one that actually got it over the stream... the rest got it in the stream.

Mom,

Lydia,

 and Alyssa all happily playing.

Dad must have gotten a good score on this one!

Bethany playing leisurely.

Counting up the scores. Dad won out of everybody and Bethany came in 8th!

Summer Part 2

Matt having fun taking off the stickers on his truck.

 One of the very many beautiful Illinois sunsets

 Lydia and Bethany taking a ride down the road.

 

We planted a whole bunch of sweet corn in early spring, so it was ready the end of June. We were pretty much the first of the season and were selling it at 3 different locations. By the end of the day, we had sold over 5,000 cobs of corn!

Staying at some friends' house when we were traveling for another friend's wedding.

 Food preparation

Playing games. BTW Whoonu and iMAgiNiff are a fun way to get to know people better ;-)

 Having a water fight.

 

 Getting together with some local friends for an evening.

Attending a conference and having fun spending some more time with the S. family

Zachary, Andrew, and Matt
