Almost Unbearable

 Today was a really hot day. Even early for our walk, there was no breeze at all and the temps close to 80. I went over to check out the motorhome fridge and was disappointed to find it still not working. Ruth brought the 2005 motorhome over. It had gone out West with 2 families plus 1. Ruth said they really enjoyed the trip. They had 9 people traveling and staying in it but 5 of those were young children. Mark was busy emptying the big black tanks then taking them apart. Because we are going to list the farm house on airbnb even the yard needs to look good. I helped some with the tanks then Mark came to help take the freezer/fridge apart to try to find the problem. We worked a couple hours on it then decided to send it as it was. Rhoda arrived and tacked up Jury. Iris got the first lesson on her.

While Rhoda was working with Iris and Jury I took Zeke to go help grandpa in the motorhome.
Not much later Sarah arrived with Zion, Eden and River. Zion got a canter lesson on Jury. We didn't get to watch that as I took the others into the 2005 motorhome to turn on that fridge. They thought this motorhome was amazing. While I was turning on things they found hiding places.
Once everything was up and running well. We went back to the horses. Zion was getting Penny tacked up to go on a trail ride with Rhoda and Jury.
After the ride they all went to the lake to cool off. I needed to hose Tessa's filly's leg again. She knows the routine, she is haltered in the stall then follows her mom out to the indoor arena, stands while I tie her up and then get the hose.
Tomorrow Dr. Pallen is coming to check it out. It is just not healing as well as anticipated. Rhoda and Sarah worked with Dahlia while I watched their kids in the lake. While they were working with her, I swam across the lake to get the lillypad. The rope had broken and that had floated away. It was a good time as the 3 older girls were playing near the beach and River and Zeke were playing under the trees. Rhoda worked with  Dahlia while Sarah recorded everything then Rhoda made the video below:
When they got back the 2017 motorhome's fridge was put back together and I was so pleased to find the fridge working. We really don't know what we did to fix it but it was cooling. Hooray! I checked the 2005 and it too was cooling well. Sarah picked up Nolan and they drove the 2005 to the Brewers then took the 2017 to their house for packing. They are all leaving early tomorrow.
We went to Taegan's softball game which was held at a park just 12 minutes from our house. It was supposed to start at 7:30 pm but was delayed as the game before theirs went long. Taegan's game didn't start until close to 8:00 pm and by the time it was over we got home much to late. This was the championship game and was hard fought. They won the last two games to get into this game but ended up losing in this game so came in 2nd in the tournament. WELL DONE GIRLS! Every time Taegan got up to bat she got on base. Below is her double.

Even after 9:00 pm it was 85 degrees with no breeze. I was wishing for a fan. The heat seamed almost unbearable. I'm glad I went, Taegan is a very talented player. She plays 3rd base, one of the girls from the other team was trying to steal 3rd, Taegan was thrown the ball, the girl stopped and headed back to second, Taegan threw the ball to the girl playing second, they went back and forth until the girl was tagged out. Too bad I didn't have the video going then. No one knew how that was going to end but the perfect throws and Taegan's team mates all in perfect position made this out happen.
