Uberfallen!! or "Attack"

Well My sister Finally Graduated this past weekend.  I went to my home town and had a very relaxing weeking that consisted of Naps, Fishing, and helping Haul Hay.  The chocolate Children went with me and napped on the way.  They love each other so much.  Notice the Seat Protector I bought on ebay for 20 bucks....on Cabelas for like 75!  I'm so thrifty...ha

Here's a graduation photo.  It rained and hailed so they had the graduation on the indoor practice field.  It was so humid and hot that I looked like a wet dog.  Here are me and my sisters and our other "sisters" (close family friends)  When we got home we were without electricity for about an hour so I turned on my lap top and taught mom how to line dance to Copperhead Road because I'm cool like that. 

Sean Had a great weekend.  He won about 800 bucks and was .1 second away from winning and additional $1,000.  That's POINT 1 second!!!  so close...but close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades....oh and he also hung his spur in the saddle horn to loose what would have been a pretty good check in the average.  Why can't he catch a break?!

Last week I got to visit the Saline County Jail.   And No I wasn't arrested.  I went on a "field trip"  As a member of the Saline County Leadership Board, we get to tour all the things that make Saline county run.  We also got to visit one of the new Fire Stations, and I rode up 100 feet in the ladder truck.  It was a little nerve racking.  I took photos on my Camera Phone.  I didn't take my big camera because I wasn't expecting such fun experiences that day ha!
Here's the view from 100 feet up. 
And here's all the chickens that wouldn't go.

The County Jail was a horrible expereience.  Let me just say that after visiting the Jail, I would never EVER want to do anything to have to put myself in that position..it was HORRIBLE.  They had five "pods" where the inmates are all together and they just sit there, all day.  I couldn't handle it!  I would drive myself Crazy.  I felt as if I needed a shower after we left because it was so dirty..not that they didn't clean it was just 30 people living in one room...it got messy.

Anyway at the Police Station we got ambushed by the S.W.A.T. team.  It scared the ever living crap out of me.  They turned off the lights and set off a light bomb and came busting in the room with all their gear on and guns..man it was scary.  I would've done anything they asked had it been a real live situation!  Glad I'm not a criminal...  And then we met Lucky, who was the most well trained dog I'd ever seen.  He was so sweet and loveable and then with one German word (yeah he spoke german) He would attack.  He was amazing. 
One minute he was just chillin...
And then "Attack" (in german)
Yeah, My dogs won't do that.  Unless you're a cow..and then they just bark.

I wanna learn that dance. I saw everyone doing it a the last wedding I went to and it looked so neat!

Chris of course has been to "visit" several jails and was on the SWAT team for 5 years. It's tough but very interesting life they lead.

Our next door neighbors have a K-9 unit and he speaks German to it all the time, he finally taught us how to say stop incase we ever needed to use it.

You're so lucky getting to ride in the bucket truck. That's a life long dream of mine.

I would've screamed if I'd been in your shoes and the swat team came at me like that, screamed and hit the ground. You're a brave woman!
