This week we had three markets and then we went up to see Bob on Thursday. The first market was on campus, and there was a dunk tank! The second market I went to had horse-drawn wagon rides. I rode the wagon 16 times! Daddy did the third market on his own.

This is Lily the horse. She helped pull the wagon.

Thursday morning we left home at 5:00 AM. Mom and Dad didn't tell me we were going to a baseball game until we got to the stadium.

A ballgame? Go RedHawks!

Right after we walked into the stadium, a lady asked if I wanted to be part of the on-field activities. I said, "yes." Turns out my job was to bring out the baseballs for the first pitches.

Almost time.

On the field now.

Time to run!

If you listen closely, you can hear the announcer say my name, and then you can hear Mommy cheering for me.

Nothing like ice cream on a hot day.

After the game we got back in the car and finished the drive to Bob's house. Everyone else was already there. We just stayed at the house Thursday night because it was late and we were tired from driving.

Friday morning we toured some of farm and looked at some machinery. After out little tour we met everyone for lunch.

Then we went to the cemetary for the internment service for Jennifer. From there we returned to the house for the party and open house to show off the kitchen Jennifer had helped design. There were lots of people there, so I had plenty of people to talk to. But mostly I hung around with Bay.

Saturday Mommy made breakfast for everyone. Later in the morning Bay came over and spent the day with me. We played board games, hide-and-seek, rode scooters and bikes, got driving lessons on the golf cart, ate snacks, and went for a boat ride.

On the boat with Mom and Bay. It was hot.

Sunday we were the last to leave. After a fun long weekend, we were not looking forward to the drive home. So we stopped to take pictures of a field of sunflowers. The ride home was mostly uneventful, until we ditched the interstate due to an accident that had traffic backed up for miles. Our drive was more scenic, of course, but a little longer.

And that was my week. Take care!
