May 7

What a big day!    First of all...........HAPPY 5th ANNIVERSARY

 to Philip and Annette

The anniversary couple

Drew and Davis were off to school this morning; Brooke, Brady and Grandma left for ther Lazy 5 Ranch about an hour away for a field trip with Brady's classmates!   Wow....this was quite the place with zebras, giraffes, rhinocerous, lots of goats, ostriches, lambs, cows, and very chunky pot-bellied pigs.   After wandering around, we had a picnic lunch and then enjoyed a hayrack ride past many animals we could feed.   Here are a few of the many pics Grandma took...

On the hayrack ride - very warm, sunny, dusty day on the ranch!

Mark and his boys launched Michael's boat today and enjoyed a ride and lunch on Lake James!

Back home to shower and do exercises (I packed my pulleys, paint roller, etc., for the trip, but Michael had a brand new paint roller all ready for me, so Brady has been helping Grandma "paint" the walls!)

Drew

We all went to Dos Amigos for great Mexican dinner and then to Drew's ballgame which they lost 5-4 at the very end!
