Part 2

I picked up Riley from his friend's house. They were back from the farm where they had had a wonderful time. I was glad I wasn't there as they had gone mountain biking, and road hay bales on the back of a pick up and done all these wonderful normal activities that would have had my heart in my throat.





Riley said they mucked out the stables, fed the hogs and chickens, and played hard. They met a 17 year old teen hired to help out around the place. The boys loved working with him. He had all the latest computer games to share. At the end of the day they all played war games on the house computer.





Riley was filthy and once home couldn't wait to get a bath. The farm house only had one bathroom for everyone. He is now playing a new game gifted to him by his new friend in Hood River. If the invitation came again to go to the farm and work, I think Riley for once would be at the front of the line volunteering.
