Tomorrow: NOTHING ON THE SCHEDULE!!!
The kids were invited to a friend’s birthday party today. These friends live on a ranch surrounded by spectacular scenery. The kids spent a couple hours in the hay barn, swinging and playing, before spending some time wading in the frigid creek. The weather was perfection.
The story that these pictures do not tell is that Lola got stuck between two slats in the barn. She was caught at the neck and couldn’t go forward or backward. I have no idea how she got herself in that predicament, but Mr. Brant had to saw a board off to get her out. This is at least the second time he’s had to save one of my kids.
Invite my kids to your next party. You are guaranteed memorable excitement.
The party looks idyllic, and I love the story of Lola! So glad she is okay, and glad you were willing to share. It sounds like the plot of a great picture book - being sawn (word?) out of the wall of a barn!
