This has turned into a GOAT SHOW!

One of my very best friends from Effingham, Donna, is married to a football coach. Her football coach husband used to describe a game that had gone particularly badly as "a total goat show". Being an animal science major quite familiar with livestock shows,  I always giggled at that description. This evening the girls worked hard with their show goats. We don't want our first goat show to turn into "a total football game" so we are working hard so that the goats will behave and do what they are supposed to do! We had a great day together! We had boiled shrimp for supper and Addie Belle Bennett ate way more than I did! 



Ali Grace is so proud of the fact that we trust her to drive the gator around by herself. Recently, she got good enough to transport passengers!









Of course, since Ali Grace is now driving the gator around, Addie will NOT be outdone and insisted on her own driving lesson today.


These are some pictures from the garden work this morning. The girls picked mostly cucumbers and squash.





Ali and her Daddy, "the bee whisperers".  :) They are watching bees emerge from the excess comb they scraped off the hives. I'm actually not sure what they're doing. I know nothing about bees. I just like honey.
