Spending the weekend on a farm was fun. It was awesome to be in so much open space and to see the storms last night at their full capacity (without city lights, tress or houses blocking)! It's also nice to see how much different the life style is. The biggest is getting used to well water (and the smell-both of which don't bother me), and the larger number of bugs. We all had fun though. I can't wait until the farmer who farms the land my parents are on brings the cows back! The kids will really get a kick out of that!
We really didn't know what to do today, so I got creative and took the girls for a ride in the lawn mower ("tractor"). It was like an entire new day over again after that!
Believe it or not, Viola actually helped me steer!!
After we got back to Ames, my mom stayed with the kids for just a bit so Ryan could take me for a ride on his motorcycle! I didn't get a pic, but it was really enjoyable! Makes me miss the days when we could just go do whatever, whenever! 18 more years! :-)
I took the girls to the park after that. Iz begged all day!! They had a good time climbing and getting more energy out!
Viola did a lot if sliding
Ryan taught the girls how to peel sweet corn that we had with dinner:
They enjoyed eating it too:
I didn't even realize until after I put him to bed tonight that I didn't get a picture of Henry today. I can tell you he had carrots tonight and seemed to enjoy them...he had apples yesterday and loved those! He has been SUPER chatty and very happy!
Until tomorrow!
