Puppies,Parades and Ball Games

This is our typical weekend in the summer, lots of ball games and a cheese days parade thrown in this weekend. So that means not just "a" ball game it means a tournament, all weekend starting on Friday night. Our two sons-in-law play on a team together and they won the championship this weekend. Here they are telling the other team "good game"after their win. It was a very good tournament, lots and lots of really good teams and they also had to play in a field with lots of water from the rain. We watched our one son-in-law make a diving catch through a lot of water, didn't make the catch but was a very close one! And another guy on the team did make a fantastic catch while sliding on his stomach through the mud! Was a pretty exciting game!

Speaking of water, not only was the ball field flooded so was the sand box that the kids all play in. It looked more like a swimming pool and the kids really had fun!

Very pretty team of horses in the parade.

The kids are waiting patiently for someone to throw some candy!

Lots and lots of emergency vehicles!

And puppies.....

puppies......

and more puppies!

Our daughter and her husband have a litter of purebred lab puppies...8 of them! And all different colors, cream, gold, brown and black! So if anyone is looking for a nice puppy feel free to let me know!

And last but not least is our newest addition, Baya, a purebred Great Dane. She belongs to our daughter Megan who has moved back in with us while she is in between jobs, that is a main job. She is still working her second job, she is a crazy workaholic I think but Randy and I are enjoying having her home even if it's just for awhile. Randy was not very happy with her getting a dog while she is living with us. Her last animal purchase is still living out to our shop (2 cats) so we had a very bad feeling that it was us getting a dog, not Meg! The conversation went as follows, all in texting:

Meg: "I found the cutest Great Dane puppy!"

Me: Dad says "NO!"

Meg: "But she's so cute and only $200"

Me: "NO!"

Then I get a picture sent to me on my phone of the puppy!

Me: "Again your dad says NO!"

Meg: "I promise you won't have to take care of it...ever!"

Me: "Dad says if you move you have to take the dog, if we move we are NOT taking the dog!"

And now I get a picture on my phone of Meg holding her new puppy!

So two weeks of listening to Randy complain about having this "dog" in the house Meg tells me she is sitting on the couch with Baya sitting by her and Randy walks in and asks "So you going to the game too?" Meg answers "Not sure" Randy says " I was talking to the dog" Welcome to your new home Baya!
