We have had 7 inches of rain since Thursday! The lake is quite high and the beach has shrunk. I HAD to do laundry today as both of my Sunday shirts needed washing. A load was hauled over to the barn and started before 8:00 am. We still have no propane so all laundry is now being done there. While the machines were running the barn was given a quick going over as I thought our guests coming today to look at Basilea were going to need a place to stay. Next I ran up to the apartment and turned the lights on and the aircondition down and by that time it was time to leave for the airport. I expected two older ladies but the 2 girls that walked up to the car looked like college students. I was really surprised to find, Cate, the lady wanting to look at Basilea had 7 children. They both look a lot younger than they were. When I told them that both of the airbnb's had booked and they would have to sleep in the barn, Cate, exclaimed, "but I booked one!" I was expecting a Ben in the foaling apartment and 6 guys in the farm house so asked, "who ARE you?" She explained it was booked in her husbands name. Rhoda and Sarah were here when we got to the farm. They were busy tacking up horses. The trails were much too muddy and slippery after 7 inches of rain so they were only going to use the round pen and outdoor arena. I left for TSC to pick up a Prestige 5 way vaccine for Basilea and when I got back both Cate had already ridden Basilea then she and her friend Nicole had gone to the Warehouse for some lunch. Rhoda and Sarah had already put the horses away and had Harli and her colt out. This colt is just so adorable.

He really does enjoy attention from the kids. Zion not only is teaching him to lead, she is also asking him to bend his neck to each side when asked and he is learning to pick up his feet.

When Cate and Nichole got back from lunch they were shown how to give Basilea her vaccines and how to de-worm a horse then all of the paper work was signed and Basilea is now hers. The shipper is picking her up Monday morning. 

Joan was having a work day at her house, all of her children, their spouses and grandchildren came today and gave her this as a gift. It was amazing how much they were able to accomplish. After that was over Bill and Bethany's children got to come do vaulting with Berlica.

Sarah had Joshua and Zion practice jumping their ponies. Joshua was riding Missy and Zion riding Penny.

Everyone is really enjoying the horses and even though we had all that rain the outdoor arena and round pen were still usable. It really warms my heart to see so many kids having so much fun here.
