Wednesday - Friday of this week were just that, a big, crazy blur. I can't comment too much on what my children were up to, as I was working all 3 days and missed most of their fun.
Drew was at school on Wednesday and James' parents came wednesday morning to watch H. James was heading up to the Glen to help with the cattle. It's that time of year again and the calves needed to be sent to the auction to be sold.
All went smoothly for them, except for the part where my dad was knocked over by one of the bulls. I didn't see it, but James thought for sure they were heading to the hospital when it happened. Dad was behind the bull in the shoot and somehow it got turned around and started running at him. Dad got out of there as fast as he could, and did manage to escape but as the bull was turning the corner, his ass caught my dad and sent him flying into the fence. He hurt his neck and back, but nothing was broken (and of course, my stubborn father wouldn't get out of the shoot afterwards, had to finish tagging the rest of the calves). He (and the rest of us, for that matter) were very lucky. It could have been a lot worse.
Anyways, once the trucker showed up (Mr Brander, who has been trucking for us for a lot of years) we all headed out to Swiss Chalet for dinner. It was my brother's last night in town and we wanted to have a nice meal together as a family.
And that's about all I have to say about Wednesday to Friday. We took the boys to Chuck E Cheese on Friday night (man, was that a mistake, there were about 5 birthday parties going on and a bazillion children there....I usually have a high tolerance for places like that, but I wanted out of there right away that night!).
