Crochet Me Crazy

at our house this weekend! Alison had a ton of games planned and they were busy with that most of the day....balloons, shaving cream, water, flour...a real mess! At least it was a beautiful day for being outside today! We made a campfire in the yard and we sat outside and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs last night. It was a fun and successful party!







This morning they got up for their surprise! HORSEBACK RIDING!! They went up the mountain and had a little pic-nic. Alison has been waiting a long time to get the chance to ride "Magic". He's a well-trained horse that she'll be able to do all kinds of things on. She's excited because Mrs. Grain said that she can start riding him.






We had a bit of trauma this morning! Grace's foot broke off! It wasn't a pretty site but in reality, it wasn't that bad. It was worse for me than it was for her I think. We bandaged it up for now. I may call the vet and see what they say about bandaging. I don't want to interfere with her natural ability to heal. They seem to be pretty good at that. The wildlife place told us they sometimes even self amputate, they have a strong resistance to infection and are very resilient. I have learned that to be true! I guess was God's design to help them survive in the wild. Bless her heart...she's been through a lot. Yesterday, when we came back from a ride on the 4-wheeler, she was out of her fence standing in our yard! Apparently, something scared her and she jumped it! I brought her the leaves I had picked for her and she followed me back in. We haven't heard back from the Wildlife Rescue place. People are now telling me we should just keep her until she's grown and then release her. They say once she's full size there aren't really any predators (mountain lions but we rarely have those) and that she'll be like a cat that leaves but comes back to eat. We might do that but we're going to have to fence the whole yard if we do. Her space is not big enough. Anyway...we'll just have to see.
