Cousins

Cousins that never met before - a perfect unexpected visit.

swimming in a chilly lake in the spring time - this is the same beach I enjoyed as a little one

a bonfire with some truth or dare - with all the boys there was lots of talk about farts and other boy stuff

on the way to the lake there was a stop at our old property.  this is the cabin I came home to as a newborn, it had a porch and wood siding

the old out house

our driveway that led to the house, barn and chicken coop

so very thankful the boys had an opportunity to spend time with family, develop new friendships and visit places I spent as a kiddo.

Thank you for coming to visit and hope to see you all in July boys!!!!!!

Boys on the Farm

We arrived to some beautiful weather at the farm.  It was short lived and disappeared in time for the weekend celebrating Mothers Day and Dillon's Birthday, but we enjoyed it while we could   - and before the dreaded black flies descended upon us.  The farm is a perfect place for the boy spirit to come out and run free.

filling bird feeders

after seeing a couple dead blue jays and a stunned one we thought bird killer Indy was on the prowl - then we realized they were flying into the windows on the gates to the garden.
