August..... Already!!!??!?!!

We were only home from NC for a few days before the kids took off on another trip, back to Okoboji to hang with their cousins and aunt/uncles for a few days!

I was able to get a TON of yard work done and this kitty got lots of attention!

While the kids were gone we cohosted a Bags tournament as part of a fundraiser through the,school auction with 7 other couples. It was a lot of fun (more pics below), but I wanted to include a pic of the awesome boards that Wes designed for us! House Divided boards....thanks to Porter! The cyclone board was the only ISU one in our tournament!

Scott and Linda were great about texting a pic of what the kids were up to once or twice a day. 
One day Scott took them over to Sibley, their hometown and showed the kids his childhood home and took them into the grocery store that Steve and Linda owned and ran for years. From what I heard they got the grand tour!

One morning was spent fishing! Guess they hit the jackpot, caught 50-60 fish total! Enjoying Popsicles after fishing. 

Linda took the kids to Arnold's Park. 

And last night they went to a movie with Chris and Kim! 

The Bagstourney was last night and we lucked out with awesome weather. It was held mostly in our 2 neighbors backyards, they also go to SFA. 

The set up before all the food was brought out. 

16 teams competed in the tournament,ent. The peeps were red shirts are the hosts, we had shirts made up for the event...how official! Haha!

Some peeps did venture to our backyard as the night progressed to take a spin on the zip line. Here is our beloved Fr. Ray getting on the zip line with the assistance of a couple of friends. :-)
