ADK's First baseball game

It rained all day long and I was very surprised that they even attempted to play the game. It started sprinkling in the first inning and by the end of the inning it was a downpour. They continued to play 2 complete innings in the downpour until they called the game.

Ball

Strike

Foul tip and the next one was a foul for an out.

End of the game the boys quick shook hands and ran off the field.

Wild Hogs 4H

The boys 4H Club Wild Hogs met Sunday evening to work with the pigs. It was the first time that whole group has worked with the pigs together and it sure showed. They have some work before Junior Show which is only a few weeks away.

ELK and his pig. ELK needs to learn not to touch his pig when showing. He needs to use the cane. He tends to touch the pig instead of using the cane.

ELK feeding his pig part of an orange while ADK watches. ELK's pig would have nothing to do with the orange.

ADK working his pig trying to get it position to show the hams to the judge.
