We had so many fun things going on today! The first thing was Mule Day at Papa and Gege's house this morning. It is a really neat time when Joe's plow club gets together and they plow the field. It's pretty fun to watch and anyone is welcome to try their hand (and legs and back, etc...) at plowing behind the mules. Lots of older men try it out, but Nick usually gives it a go too. It's quite the workout. More power to these men who plow their fields the old fashioned way...it doesn't look like something I would ever be able to do. It looked like there was a pretty good turnout. Anyway, we went to the plow for a couple of hours and then came home for lunch and a good rest before our busy afternoon.
