| Before heading back to Zanesville on Monday, Ty and Maddie needed to ride in the tractor with Pa one more time. |
 |
| Carson, Maddie and Ty all rode with Pa at the same time. |
 |
| Pa tried to drop them off after about a half hour. They got off, then wanted to get right back on. So back on they went! |
 |
| Saturday night we went to the rodeo. good picture of ty |
 |
| good pic of Maddie |
 |
| We stayed for a few hours and saw kids riding baby bulls, cowboys riding big bulls, and barallel racing. It was not the best rodeo ever (actually, I have never been to a rodeo so I don't have anything to compare it to!) but the kids still enjoyed it! |
 |
| We even saw hot air balloons taking off! |
 |
| After barallel racing anyone could go out and dance to the music. |
 |
| Guess who wanted to go right out there? Instead I let her get off the bleaches and dance. |
 |
| Then Ty and Carson joined her. Now it was 10 pm and Tracey and I thought we should head home! |
 |
| Saturday we spent the day (10 to 3) at the pool! |
 |
| Aunt Tracey and Ty watching Logan and Carson jump off the driving board. Ty was crushed when I told him he couldn't go off the diving board...crocodile tears! |
 |
| Maddie watching |

 |
| After dinner the four cousins went with Tracey and me to tour Pa's green barn. |
 |
| Everyone had to climb and play on all the equipment. |
 |
| Carson |
 |
| I think Ma should use this picture for her Christmas card! |
 |
| always cheering |
 |
| Can you tell that Ty loved all the tractors? |
 |
| These two are cut out from the same mold....they are either getting along perfectly or agruing about everything! |

| Maddie on the tool truck. |
 |
| Friday we went to see my best friend from high school, Stacey, and her family! I did not take many pictures but the kids loved it here...I didn't think I was ever going to get them home! First, they have 4-H pigs that Maddie and Ty got to feed marshmallows to. Then Ty and Maddie had to get all the bikes and toys out of the garage and play with them. Stacey had everything! Next, we made it to the pool. Haley and Maddie going under together! |
 |
| Ty jumping off the raft with Stacey. |
 |
| I am sure Maddie is bossing Haley around. Hayley and Dawson are so good with kids! |

| Dawson and Maddie swinging while Stacey made us lunch. |
 |
| I had a wonderful time because I got to catch up with Stacey face to face! Maddie and Ty had a blast playing with Dawson and Haley! Some comments Maddie made about the day...."Mom, Stacey's house is way cooler than yours!" and "Stacey is a gooder cook than you!" |
 |
| After visiting the zoo, Maddie, Ty, and I went to visit Ma and Pa while Daddy went to Pittsburgh for basketball camp. |
 |
| It was a hot day, so Ma got out the sprinkler while Ty was riding in the combine. |
 |
| Carson |
 |
| Maddie....sweet outfit, I know! |
 |
| Logan and I rode bikes to see Ty ride in the combine. I had to ride Logan's bike and he had to ride Carson's bike. It was so hard to ride a little bike! |
 |
| in the field |
 |
| Can you see Ty in there? He was sitting on Bobby's lap! |
 |
| ride is over |
 |
| watching the combine dump into the semi |
 |
| Then back at Ma's there was rock painting! |
 |
| Finally, Maddie, Ty and I went with Carson and Aunt Tracey to his flag football practice. Maddie and Ty played on the playground during practice. Ty enjoying a snack, Pringles, of course! |
