It is finally hot. It is supposed to be 102 degrees on the 4th of July. Summer has been good so far. We have been watching the Lost series and we rented Pirates of the Caribbean. We haven't yet had a water fight, but these nest few days are looking promising. The dog ruined our 4 square ball so that is kaboshed for a while. On a positive note, I bought a Halti for Ginger and jogged with her yesterday. She was almost bearable as a jogging partner-until two dogs ran out to greet us as we were turning back onto the hwy from the lake. I almost lost her, as she was franticly spinning and almost backed herself out of the Halti.
Yesterday, Michaela found another one of our chickens dead. I think she must have fallen off the shelf in the hen house during a particularly intense dream and didn't wake up before she hit the ground. There seemed to be no fowl play. . . unless one of her compadres thought she was laying better and was jealous and pushed her off. We shall never know.
We sold Rootbeer and gained another castrated male pygmy named Licorice and a female named Oreo. Autumn is in the process of weaning her babies- she is in forced separation.
Both the little boys are now walking. Danny started on May 26 and Alex started about three weeks later. Alex is more tentative. Danny walks like a pro now. It is so fun to see them walk around together. Soon it will be running-ack!
Stay tuned in for the next update of the extremely exciting goings-on at the Ranch.

We love the Lost series. In the summer we love to rent television series that have finished and we can breeze through as fast as we want with no commercials.
Sounds like you are having a fun summer, stay cool--and we will too!

I hope I can visit and see everyone at Nelsonranch during July when I'm in Utah. I really like all the pictures, movies, and reading about your family.
