KC

Last week we traveled to Kansas City for a little summer vacation time. We went to World's of Fun and Ocean's of Fun. We went with the Porter family. Our girls are the same age. The water rides were our favorite. The fellows of our group enjoyed the thrilling roller coasters. All in all, we all had a blast.

Clarence

What happens when a goat gets his head caught in the woven wire fence? We get him out.

What happens when Clarence gets his head caught in the woven wire fence 7 times in one day? BL tapes a piece of black, plastic, water line pipe to his horns... let this be a lesson for the other 8 fellow grazers.

Buckets

The first picture was shot last summer after a big rain. You can the water ran over the bridge. Half pint is standing next to the light pole and Grandpa is beside the bench.

The water level set a new record high today, the light pole is in the middle of the picture, and the bench and bridge is completely under water.

It has rained buckets over the last few days... will we ever see the beach again?

Glampers

Home on the Range

Even though we cut our camping weekend short with the forecasted rain, we still had an wonderful time. We grilled out, rode bikes, swam with a few little snakes, and even played some checkers. Like a kid in a candy store, I pulled out my new camp fire cooking equipment and tried it out. We even inspired the neighbors with our unique campers. Looking forward to our next outing and making more memories in our little Glampers! (glamor campers)

Checkers

We have a new game craze at the Lough Ranch. The girls and I made a table out of a few old windows we had in the barn. They helped paint a checker board on the top. We use poker chips for the checker pieces. Now we have a permanent checker board on the front porch. We find ourselves playing "just one more game" quite a bit. BL admitted to not having much experience in this field... so he has been the "confident boaster" for his opponents. The neighbors stop and play. Grandpa and Grandma have polished their skills. Uncle Lincoln needs beat. We love the company and the challenge of a game. After countless games, some name calling, and much frustration, BL finally beat me... now the challenge is on!!!!
