Vacation; Good for the Soul, bad for the Work ethic

We got to spend 3 weeks at the grandparents. Wyatt got acquainted with all the tractors and other farm equipment not to mention the four-wheeler and the motorbike. Uncle Chad took him for a ride on the motorbike. He loved it, and since then he has been obsessed.

We hiked Cress Creek while I was home. I didn't ever remember it being as pretty as it was of course it has been a warm and wet year. You could see my dad's cows down in the pasture on my camera. I was pleased with the zoom and the pictures that it took. It was fun to play around. Here are a few of the pictures I took. Wyatt got tired about half way up and needed a rest.

It was a really fun trip. We celebrated 4 birthdays and an anniversary all in three weeks. That was just long enough to go native, I was wading through puddles and running around bare foot. Wyatt really liked the bare foot part. He had a lot of fun pulling Jocelyn's carriage through the puddles. He didn't like the ditch water because it was too cold on his feet. As far as Ella's feet go they were toasty warm in these boots my friend Meag got for her (thanks again).

That is so funny that you just put that picture on there. I was totally thinking about those boots last night. In about a month we find out if we are having a boy or girl. I'm getting excited and I as totally thinking I wanted some of those sweet little boots. What fun pictures! I'm so glad I got to see you while you were home. Oh and cute background too!

Fun trip for you, being back on the farm. I always enjoy 'going native' in WA. Everything is so green in your pictures! Ben and I are thinking of going to Grandma's for Thanksgiving, it's been so long since we've been up there!
