BBQ, Bikes, hail, what a night...


So i was able to get back on the field yesterday to cultivate a and losen up the soil to help out the pumpkins. Then loaded up the the bikes to head to the last kids of mud for the season. We where chased all the way there by the scarest looking clouds i have seen in a week, the type of clouds that bring that massive summer downpour you usually get once a year, but this is our 4th or 5th this month. It started with rain then hail, as 100 people squeezed under the picnic shelter to stay dry, then watch the water run in flooding the shelter which quickly showed it was in one of the lower spots in the field.
But the sun broke though again and we headed out for our ride with 4 inches of water covering all the single track it made for a fun ride. June with her trail along bike and I rode with the faster teenage boys which lead to a real lung burner for me. Always hate to see kids of mud come to a end, but it was another great year.

On the way home june as she calls it a scrapbook page with the stickers she got for the kids accomplishments of what they learned this year. Along with the phases - Ride a Bike and JUne and Dad. Got home to jump on the tractor and take a spin around the field for put in some ruts to hold the water and help dry out the pumpkins, i am hating watching a wake behind the tractor like i am in a boat!!!!

Feels awesome to have kids so into mountain biking though!!!!
