Helping on the farm

Hello all,

This morning I woke up in my old house in Randolph, Iowa. It was 6:15 and the sun was up. Jennifer, myself and the kids drove up last night after going to the Platte County Fair. The plan was to help mom with a lot of chores that she was needing some help with and then take the kids to Omaha in the afternoon for ice cream.

The first task on the agenda was to remove the fence around the trees and mowing close the the trees. On some of the trees, my mom had plans to move the steal posts back and re-drive the posts. After twenty posts, my arms were tired. It was now time to cut down a few trees and haul them off to the "smores pit".

Soon it was time to get cleaned up and head to Omaha. The kids wanted to go miniature golfing in the afternoon before going to eat ice cream. Of course, Ali and Zac had a perfect game today since they place the ball on the edge of the cup and knock it in. Jennifer, Nana and I did not have it so easy. We stopped keeping score on the seventh hole when I somehow managed to lose the pencil. Darn, and I was on my way to a fantastic score, too! (NOT REALLY)

After golf, it was time to get some icecream with the whole family. It was great to see Danna, Nic, Kirk and Dade. Thank you all for coming over and seeing us.

Good night,

-Andy
