Visiting the Country

Saturday was my mom's birthday. My parents live in the middle of a big field that is surrended by more fields. Chris chased the kids around their huge yard.
All the chasing made everyone tired.
Wesley spotted orange juice in the refrigerator and begged for it. The poor guy. We usually just give him milk or water so juice is a huge treat for him.
After church on Sunday my aunt and uncle came over. My aunt Estelle.
My uncle Kenneth.
This was Lydia's first time meeting my aunt and uncle. My parents usually come to visit about once a month or so. We haven't made it to their house for a long time because they usually come to help with the kids. I so appreciate all of their help.
Wesley loved catching bugs. Most of the time we had to do the catching for him and he appreciated our efforts.
My parents' house is 3/10 of a mile off of a secondary road. This picture kind of gives an idea of how far off the road their house sits.
Here we are crossing the first of two cattle guards on my parents' road. We walked down to the main road so the kids could see the neighbor's cows up close.
The kids loved seeing the neighbor's cows.
The kids enjoyed having lots of time and space to play outside.



My parents' neighbor, John, took the kids to see his donkeys.
Of course the kids enjoyed riding on the golf cart.
Lydia is Nana's girl.
Lydia liked this friendly little dog. Our cats are very afraid of Lydia so she always likes it when dogs let her pet them.

What a beautiful spread they have. What a memorable weekend for the kids - all that space to run and play in. There are two picts in particular that are just beautiful. The one of Lydia with the road off in the distance, and the one of Chris walking under the tree with the kids. Wonderful.

I LOVE Lydia's dress! And I love that she wears dresses places other than church and parties!
