Jenna was the only one that hated it!

We then headed over the wood workers shop where Matt found a wooden horse he loved, Melanie and Kaitlyn found a coffin they thought it would be fun to be silly in and Brad helped with all the men work on a wooden chest with the woodworker.

Then the Farmer took us back to the farmhouse and we all played some good old fashioned baseball with a paddle for a bat and a homemade ball.

After the Hot Sweaty day at the Center we went and ate dinner at Big J's and headed over to Skyview swimming pool.  We rented the pool for the night and had a great time having the pool all to ourselves. The diving board was the biggest hit for everyone.
