788 - the lost were all found

Day 788 we all got up and ready for polocrosse around 9. Breakfast was eaten, horses caught, trailers dumped and hooked up and snacks packed to go. Sam helped get horses then he was staying to fetch Adam and head visit friends today. We left the yard at 10:30 heading south to take the 22 x in as Glenmore bridge was not open. As we were about to cross the 24 Amanda called saying Asher was missing. We turned back north passing thru a roll over accident and rushed to town. On the way I called in a  report to the police in case he ventured to a house where someone would call in to report finding him. We dropped the girls off a few blocks away to start their search. Rachel had jumped out of bed to meet us and help as did Sam. The neighbors were searching as well and the police had arrived and soon after we got their a neighbor yelled she found him alone in her back yard, a yard both Amanda and Craig had looked in however he was back in the corner on a swing set. What a relief!! After hugs and showing him the horses we loaded up and headed to Calgary once again.

We took deerfoot down to Glenmore and seeing the destruction was unreal however it was also amazing to see the quick cleanup too. We arrived at the field just after 12, tacked up and enjoyed a day in the sun playing polocrosse.

By 3 we untacked, hosed and loaded them back up to head home. Shaina works at 5 so ran to shower while we fed and put them to pasture. Our mason was here and had finished the pillars, it looks great. I started to mow around tree so we could plant the blue berries and the buffalo junipers. We quickly planted them before a storm chased us inside.

Just as we were pulling out today Britt noticed her phone missing, as we planned to get there early we said we will just grab it when we get home. Once home I sent her searching with no luck. I helped her retrace her day and continued to give her ideas where to search. I too went looking thinking it had to drop while catching horses but since I did not know where in the field they were I did a general overview.

After the rain I searched truck, trailer and garage as well a s front yard while she moaned on the couch. She did get out again and ride around on horseback looking before returning to the couch. Eventually around 10 she decided to get a big rake to drag the field. I heard her squealing and went out to find KD had ripped her cheek open on something obviously trying to get bug relief. Her entire neck was like cottage chees from all the bites.

As I was getting supplies Britt squealed again successfully finding her phone (rain soaked however). We finally caught KD tried to wash it up and put wonder dust on it for the night. Sam and Adam got home at 10:30 hitting the sheets and Shaina was finished work at 11.
