Broom Hockey

On Saturday, I went to check on the cows.  Found a new baby.

Hooray for this baby.  It has a good mother.

Said hello to the rest of the gals, too.

And don’t you wish you could eat like a cow?  Like just totally stand in your spaghetti.  Have spaghetti all over you head.  Keep your baby in your spaghetti.

What a life.

We got together with David’s side of the family this weekend to play broom hockey.

First, we had to clear snow off the frozen lake.

David and Kate-

Hadley and her cousin-

Here’s how broom hockey works:

1.  Get a group of people on a frozen lake.
2. Please make sure the lake is frozen for realz.
3. Grab several brooms.  Please do not bring a broom you like.  The broom will break.
4. Use something like a tennis ball for a puck.
5. Watch all your loved ones fall down and break brooms.

No, I did not run around on the ice with my knee.  I did play goal keeper and did not move, therefore, I was a terrible goal keeper.

My team loved me.

It was a fun day.  And no one got hurt!  And no one fell through the ice!

And now let’s talk about Hazel.

I am in deep like with Hazel.  Maybe even love?  Is it too soon to say that?

I don’t want to seem all full of myself or anything, but I think she is in deep like/love with me as well.

I feed her the bottle and then she just wants to sniff and lick my pants and follow me around.

This morning, she was out walking around with Charlie and me.  She and Charlie were chasing each other all around and I went into the house for a few moments to do a couple of things.

I forgot that Charlie knows how to open the front door.

So, Charlie opened the front door, and in came Charlie AND Hazel.

Trying to get her out of the house before she relieved herself was an adventure.  Because even though Hazel might think she is a dog, she doesn’t really respond to commands like dogs do.  And her cow hooves were not made for hard flooring like tile and wood floor.  And she had quite the time going down the front steps.

But she made it out.

And I had a calf run through my house.

So that’s new.

Happy Tuesday.
