Boxing.

This past week-end we were thrilled to have the Shepards up from Parsons!! We had a wonderful visit with them, enjoying every minute!!

They brought with them 2 pairs of boxing gloves and early one evening, we pulled them out and most everyone got to try them.

Seth on the offensive, Dad on the defensive.

Andrew and Seth duke it out!

Esther gained the upper hand over Tabitha quickly........

so we sent Rebecca out to give her a run for her money!

Moses and Micah kept at it for a while, but Moses prevailed in the end.

Charity and Phoebe's turn!

After watching all the older ones box, Silas and Justice weren't about to be left out!! The moment they put the gloves on, they began stomping around and going after eaach other.

Silas did a great job of being gentle with Justice, but Justice gave it all he had, and both boys were on the ground more then once!!

"Okay Uncle Silas, show me what you've got!!"

"The trick, folks, it to keep your tongue stuck out the whole time- it really helps!!"
