Memorial Day

We spent Sunday of Memorial Day at the farm. 

We tested out the new dock...in fact, we relaxed there all day!

 Brooke freely roams around the farm...we were sitting on the 

dock and she was on the left side of the pond on "Mermaid Rock."

If you look very closely, you can see her.

 First (of many) jumps off the dock

 

Brooke isn't a dock jumper (yet), she's more of a 

mosey-in-from-the-water's-edge kind of pup

 Swimming sisters

Trying out her kayak for the first time...

Thanks, Nanny Jane!

I'd say her first time kayaking was a success, wouldn't you?!

 Dave made friends with Woody, one of the excavators working at the farm,

and invited him and his family over for the picnic. He showed up 

with a "pick up truck bed cooler" full of drinks! We were dying, none

of us had scene anything like it before. Turns out, the local ice company,

Millersburg Ice, shaves the ice down to small cubes and they pile

up the shaving "scraps" in the back lot. The shavings are free and you can

take as many as you'd like. We are definitely going to try it sometime!
