Watching Diesl

We got the privilege of watching Diesl for a day while Tracina and Adam were on their cruise. My mom had been watching him but she got a job working as an Aide and Park School and Thursday was her first day. We were so excited to watch him. My mom brought him by on Wednesday night and told us his routine. She said to give him a bath and that after his bath he would go right to bed. We gave him his bath and he decided that he wanted to stay up with us and watch the Olympics. Around 10:30 I went and laid him down and he was asleep by 11. The next morning he woke up at 6. He was full of energy and just wanted to play. Tracina has always told me how much he likes to play in the water so we got our pool out and the kids swam for a little while. Riley and Ashlyn were freezing after 20 minutes but not Diesl. He just kept on playing. He didn’t care that it was breezy.
Diesl fell asleep while we were feeding him lunch and the kids had to have their pictures taken next to him.

Ashlyn’s 1st Horse Ride in the Mountains

Steve decided to go for a horse ride on Sunday morning. Riley didn’t want to go and Ashlyn wanted to. I really didn’t think that she would go but she did. They were gone for over 2 hours. Steve said that she cried a little bit at first but that she was happy the rest of the ride.

Cache County Fair

This year at the Cache County Fair, Riley and Audrey tried something new. They both showed a goat in the PeeWee Goat show. There was a judge that went around and talked to the kids about their goat and asked them questions. They had so much fun and got a prize at the end.

































The next day it was time for Riley to show his sheep. He didn’t really want to show a sheep this year because his sheep was a little hyper but he decided to do it anyways. They have them walk the sheep around the arena until they get to the judge where she asks them what their name is, what their sheeps name is, and their favorite thing to do with their sheep. It is so funny because 90% of the kids answer that they like to take their sheep for a walk.

Ashlyn and Buddy



Riley, Hunter, and Mackenize all had passes to ride the carnival rides so on Saturday morning during the auction we let them ride the rides. We were able to sneak Ashlyn on a couple and she had a blast.
