The kids, especially Sloan and Judd, like to catch frogs, caterpillars, grasshoppers, etc.  This morning he caught a praying mantis or "hermantis" as he calls them.

There was an auction in town today that Dad and Mom came down to.  We met them at Don's for lunch, then they came out to our house.  The kids love showing them their current favorite movie (Ice Age 2), riding their bikes for them and showing them how their swimming has improved.

The kids have been asking Clint to put up a basketball goal outside for them.  This evening, Clint dug a hole, brought up a pole and set up a goal for them.  We don't want them shooting at a standard height goal and learning to throw the ball, so we put it at about 6 foot.  Clint left the pole about 12 foot above ground so we can move up the goal as the kids grow.
The kids thought it was fun to get down in the hole...

The kids were saying, "Thank you!  Good job, Daddy!".
