Schumachers: One long post

Sorry! I have really slacked up on blogging lately so here is a long blog of what we've been doing the last few days. There has been a lot going on and with all the field work and all the cattle moving it was been awhile.

First of all there were some Beautiful sunsets

We made some rockets at the areo space camp but it was too muddy to shoot them off so we brought them home and did them on the back lawn.

We planted flowers at church with the church ladies. It is always fun to get together with friends and work.

There were so many pretty flowers!

Them when we got home we planted some flowers in front of the shed.

This weekend was an exciting and fun one. We had lots of friends around and enjoyed good company. To make a storey short Brooklyn Englehart our cousin got to come down Friday and the Sunday came and we got to go back up to Bismarck and help with the flooding till today ( Tuesday ). We started by putting a sump pump in my Aunt's house the first night and then Monday morning we went sand bagging. It was a totally new experience for us. It was so amazing how every one was working together and helping each other. It was like everyone know everyone and anybody was ready to dig in and help to save a stranger's house. The team work was amazing. About 5 guys from our church family up there and my Aunt and Cousins and us 3 girls made up a team. We worked on sandbagging a church member's house. We made about 3 loads of sand bags ( A load consisted of a flat bed full and 2 pickup truck boxes full ). It was an amazing experience and I would like to do it again.

Then Tuesday Mom came up and picked us up so we could go and do our 4-H communication arts speech competition. We have been doing for about 8 years now and it helps your public speaking a lot
