One more dog found a new home today. He went to a little boy for his 6th birthday. I think he will be well loved. We have one more to find a new home.

Meanwhile, we are beginning to plan our annual bonfire/hayride. We plan on around 200 showing up. It is all a Christian group for the most part and very mild in behavior as there will be no alcohol. We will provide the hotdogs, tea, watermelon, baked beans and paper goods, and outdoor games.

People from church will each bring a covered dish, or ice cream (home made) and a package of buns. Also they can bring a game or their fishing gear.

For entertainment, we have a lot of talented musicians who will sing around the fire, and we have 2 fishing ponds, volleyball, teather ball, a shooting range (limited to BB guns for this event and well supervised) horse riding in the areana, 4 wheelers, ping pong (in the barn if its windy) egg toss, spoon and egg race, 3 legged races, horse shoes, croquet, badmitten. Once it gets dark we will start the hayrides.

Last year we had some camp here the night before and the night of.

I already have the paper goods, bean makings and tea supplies. I still need to get the hotdogs yet. The watermelon will come out of the garden. We already have all the games, but I will need to get some more shooting targets (big pad of them from the gun shop), so we will pull this off for around $60.

Besides our church, we also invite those from the girls homeschool coop, neighbors, and the former Christian School where the girls used to go. Since the hotdogs will freeze, and people also bring a dish, I don't have to worry about RSVP's and it all goes real smooth. If it rains, we will reschedule.
