Back to school.....

We have been on Spring Break for the last week and a half. The kids actually had some nice weather days, which usually doesn't happen this time of year. We stayed home, which is a vacation to us. Not having to be on the road each morning at the crack of dawn was nice. We still managed to go somewhere each day. The kids hadn't had JC Penney-type pictures done for about three years, so we got pictures taken. We got some cleaning jobs done, went to the dentist, and Thomas got his pesky ear tube removed. Don't worry, they had a lot of down time too.

We head to MSU this weekend for the Michigan Holstein Jackpot Show. The weather will be better than last year, when it snowed about 4 inches, so we are taking the camper up. It is easier to stay in it, rather than the Red Roof up the road. We can eat our meals there, and the two kiddos that aren't showing cattle don't have to get up before the sun to head to the Pavilion and wash heifers. I am flying solo tomorrow night, and will managed to clip all three heifers by myself. That way, nobody has to miss school on Friday. The rest of the family will join me after school Friday afternoon.

I had better get packing......
