Summer, So Far!

People think the maze doesn't start till August 24th, but for us, its already in full swing. That includes the 4th of July parade! We have such fabulous workers that so faithfully pass out flyers!! We love you all!!! Our theme is "The Cow's in the Corn" so we put a couple of dairy calves on the trailer.

We've also been working on the "Rustler's Den" escape room for the maze. We've had some really fun test groups through!

Another fun group!

A smart group that bypassed part because of their brainpower! We will have to do some fixing so that doesn't happen again!! 

It's been a great summer for hay. This is Isaac's field and he and Eli are doing the baling.

It's raspberry season and blueberry time! There's not many things better to eat than a raspberry pie!  No, we didn't eat both of them although Eli would have liked to :)

A couple of weeks ago my sister and her boys and their girlfriends came by and we had a couple fun days including a game of Balderdash.

Back to the escape room. This wonderful family had so much fun they did it a second time to see how fast they could do it!

And this group hold the record for the fastest time out! It's a thirty minute room and they made it out in 23 minutes! We figure its because they think like us :)

We had a great time on the 4th with family and also gave Abby a bridal shower. She will make a wonderful wife and I hope Levi knows how lucky he is to get her!!!

So we've been busy. There's been a little stress too because of our dairy situation. The local milk processing plant is closing, and, well it's a long story, but they will no longer be coming up here to get our milk. I will do a separate post on that in a few days.

Meanwhile, aside from maze work and the dairy closing situation, we have just had a fast summer! Arthur works from sunup till sundown. That's pretty late around here! The other night I was up at 11pm and I could still see where the sun set! Hosanna and Priscilla are having a great time at camp. They are seeing children getting saved and are enjoying their work. I couldn't live without Miriam! She has been my right and left arm and brain since the other girls left! She keeps the house running, the garden going, the pumpkin patch weeded, and so much more! I've been mostly spending my days on maze stuff. Then there's Eli who is perfecting his Swedish accent so we can tell people he's our exchange student :)  He can at least talk Minnesoootan as he helps Arthur! Sometimes I wish the sun would stay up even later! We could use the extra hours!!

So, I am enjoying the summer and pray that you will enjoy your week and the blessings God sends your way!
