Samuri Boy's VS. The Evil Corn

In this episode of Canyon and Rivers Day, Samuri Kid (played by Canyon) get's his hands on a neat spatula of mom's, and convinces his younger brother, (played by River) that it would be ton's of fun to whack down the evil corn! Samuri Kid tells younger brother that the corn has been calling him nasty names, and it needs to be whacked! Younger brother agrees, and they get to whacking. After the massacre, only Samuri Kid and younger brother are left standing, in the epic fight against the nasty name calling corn, and once again, the world is a safer place, because of their heroic actions!

Here it is in photos, the first one, shows the boys fiddling around in the garden earlier that day.......

You can see the nice, beautiful knee high corn in back of them.....

Here is is, after the massacre.

The good part of the story???? The tomatoes were spared, they were in line right next to the corn. Like I said before, that devious corn.....won't have the guts to call River bad names again....eh?

****A couple days after this sad, sad event, I found out that my friend at River Farm will put aside 25 corn plants for me, after hearing about the corn massacre. It's nice to have good friends, especially those who keep a farm! I'm so thankfull for that wonderfully nice family at River Farm for helping me have some corn for my family at the end of summer! :)***

A Guitar, A Trumpet, And Skates

Last week, I got a guitar. Mine is old, sentimental, and was being re-strung and fixed. I never really got to play it right away, as Canyon claimed it, and fell asleep with it that night....

...And the next night. After that, he wasn't falling asleep with it, but he plays it every day.

River was wanting to play too, but Dad got out the trumpet, and River proved to be a natural! Here is video of the second day playing with it....

Over the weekend, we got some things from a garage sale, including roller skates for Canyon. They are too big for him, but he doesn't care, and loves them to pieces. Here is is today, going around the block with Dad!
