PIGLETS

It's been a big week at the Tilted T Ranch. We added parakeets and piglets to the mix. Dad put up the pen, the electric fence, and pulled out the old watering system. Then it was off to Brookfield to pick up the piglets. This year we are raising 6. We plan to keep two for ourselves and sell off the rest. Bacon, cured ham, it's all in the works.

We have been camping out on the land. Watching daddy teeter on the rickety ladder as he fills the watering pole has been some free entertainment out there. The kids love playing in the grass and winter rye we planted last year. It makes for great hidden trails and perfect hiding spots to jump out and scare the humans. Nootch always wears her camo clothes for the added effect. Now if she can only get her friends out there to play with her...it would be perfect.

We are still working on hooking up the right pump to our well so daddy doesn't have to climb that rickety ladder anymore.

PARAKEETS

The day came.... She made the purchase. Say hello to Lemon and Lime!

CAPE COD

We had a little vacation with some of our best friends. The beach and the swimming at the pool were highlights for the kids.

We stayed at in Falmouth. At the home of our friend's mom's house. The kids loved playing with their friends and having a 72 hour slumber party! We all enjoyed our time at the cape.

Can you see the mating horseshoe crabs? That was pretty cool.

BOSTON AND CAPE COD

We went on a small trip to Boston and Cape Cod toward the end of June. We and 4,000,000 Bruin fans thought it would be a great idea to take the train into the city the day after the Bruins won the Stanley Cup. It ended up being quite a day in the city. Thankfully the North End Italian Markets and Mike's Canolli's made the adventure worth while.

We had a nice visit with the aunt and uncle and cousins. Then off to Cape Cod to visit with our friends.

Scrapbooking

These rainy days are perfect for getting those odds and ends taken care of. Daddy has been working hard on the scrapbook project this weekend. It's fun for all of us to remember little experiences from our trip. This is where all our tickets and scraps get displayed. It's quite a fancy project. It's awesome!
