Hunter and Caleb made a connection this trip. It was fun to see them talk and play together.

Here they are together attempting to eat mulberries off the ground before I stop them. Bird poop was too prevalent.

If there is a stick on the ground, you can be assured that Hunter will pick it up.

Then it happened. Hailey got stung by a wasp. 

I was in the shed at the time when Jennifer came and told me she thought she was stung by one. There was a little cute bird house that was hanging on a pole that was home to some wasps. The boys were planning on taking care of it in the evening so as not to disturb it too much and get more of the killed when they returned home. Hailey forgot about this area and got too close and became a victim. This was her first sting ever. She did shed a few tears but she wasn't wailing. I scooped her up and put her on grandmother's counter and applied some baking soda mixed with water to give her some relief. My brother found some toothpaste with baking soda in it and we then put that on her. He had read where toothpaste can do the trick as well and what a better combo than toothpaste with baking soda! She was back playing pretty quick. I am glad it didn't swell like they do on myself. Hopefully she has her father's genes when it comes to bug stuff. Daenon went and bought her some Benadryl and was given a dose for good measure. Funny thing about the Benadryl is that I usually carry that and either Tylenol or Motrin every time I travel. I had limited space so I just packed the Motrin. I think I jinxed myself from the beginning because stuff like that always seems to happen.

The area right in front of where they are standing is where the little bird house was hanging. It is in a cute little triangle cut out section between the shed and the house.

Water balloons were filled and the children attempted to toss balloons from one cloth to the next with the assistance of Alice, Jennifer and Brady. I love seeing my children experience things for the first time.
