Farm pictures

Howdy-do Folks,

I don't have much time....newsflash... so this shall be short and sweet.


We had an awesome trip. The weather was beautiful.... but it WAS SO WINDY!!!!!! When fishing, I could hardly cast because my hair got caught up in everything and deprived me of my sight! But it wasn't all that bad.....


Because I read the best book since the Inheritance Trilogy!!! It's called "The Final Storm" by Wayne Thomas Batson. It's the last book of the Door Within Trilogy. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!! I have all three if anyone wants to borrow them (after John is finished).




So, I was never bored. Even when the fishing wasn't so good. ahhhhh... the bliss of a good book.

We went hiking A LOT and found a bunch of good climbing trees. One was hanging over a stream, and we all climbed onto the branches (except mom). When Daniel made his way up, he said, "I feel like Robin Hood." So, that dear tree has been dubed the 'Robin Hood Tree'.




The woods were BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I've never seen such green grass.




We finished our fun filled family trip by eating at the traditional "Elm Creek Cafe" THAT PLACE IS SO GOOD!!!
