Wheeler Farm

Wheeler Farm was fun but hot and (unusually) humid. AND we forgot water! Climbing in and out of bushes and stickers was a bit sweaty but we still had fun and met a family from Louisiana letterboxing also. They belong to a club and exchange info, much more involved than us so it was interesting to meet others. After, since we had Misty's 3 boys we decided to give each of the 7 gr.kids $2. to spend at the Farmer's Market to see if they couild pick out a healthy snack. Mason chose yogurt, Sadie - popcorn and fruit leather, Haylie - fruit leather and she gave Marcus some of her money to buy chocolate and yogurt covered pretzels, Carden and Merrick each chose a banana and a vitamin drink, Ali chose animal crackers, Mandy - peaches and I chose Cherries. It was a bit hectic with Carden and Merrick tearing through store but the others were very good and I would do it again. Mandy on the other hand said she was definitely not having any more kids! Later that evening we went to our friend Brecken's house for a BBQ and farewell party for both Mandy and Misty's B- ball coach Becky Anderson who is retiring from Murray School District. It was great fun and their backyard is 1/2 acre with a slide, tramp and they blew up the raft the teams used to go down the river in and all the kids had a great time jumping on, over and around it. We ate on the deck and the kids just played and played while we all renewed old acquaintences. A fun-filled day!
