A Summer Evening at The Farm

Chad usually heads to The Farm after work on Wednesdays to do 'mechanic-ing' with his dad. Last night, we went with him since this was one of the first Wednesdays during Summer vacation and nobody had to get up early the next day! The kids were pleasantly surprised to find their cousins already at the farm. The lot of them had a blast. They checked out a turtle Chad found on the barn road, created little rooms in the tall grass, played hide-and-seek & kick the can, and tested their skills on the homemade obstacle course. We all stayed up way too late and we're paying for it with a bit of the whinies this morning...but it was all worth it.

"Ready or not, here I come!"

Hiding in the tall grass...

Grandma and her girls...

Surprisingly, this is the first year that the kids have really discovered this tall grass... they sure are having fun in it.

The kids meet Mr. Turtle...Mr. Turtle doesn't want to say hi.
He'd rather hide in his shell.

Poor Mr. Turtle...he's got 10 eyes on him!

and a few photos of Baby Rowan...she and I hung out while Grandma played kick the can with the 'big kids'.
