Haha!! This cracks me up! I love that old barn, but I didn't know that you had castrated a pig in there...I hope it was in the boys room! Gross!! I wish we had taken that interview again at the end of the summer, I think Heather was probably the cleanest by then. Can't wait to see ya'll this summer! ~Leslie
