Trip to the Farm

BB and Poppy hosted the children this weekend so Marc and I could have a staycation for our anniversary.  We were able to get a TON of work and organizing done around the house (i.e. nesting) while the children had a ball at the farm.    Saturday night after mass they had supper, road bikes and watched a few episodes of Rick Steve's Europe, which we've all enjoyed a lot lately.  :)

As always, they want to sleep in the same room- even though there are plenty of other places to sleep.  BB keeps great books in their room and they read a lot while they are there.  Marky read The Lord of the Flies in one sitting.

The next morning they enjoyed washing Poppy's truck-

And they love riding bikes and the gator!

They loved picking radishes, and Tucker and Charlie ate them-

Charlie loaded his gator with the harvest and washed the veggies thoroughly.  Good little farm workers-

Marc and Sissy road the 4-wheeler-


And it's finally blueberry season- they picked a lot of blueberries.  They will be ripening these next two weeks, and it will take a lot of work to pick them all-

After all that farm work it was a treat to swim!

And have lunch outside-

Everyone loves riding in the paddleboat and canoe- although I hear Charlie got tired.  :)

After boating they played games and enjoyed the playroom-

After supper they made s'mores in the outdoor fireplace-

BB said she had recorded some Roy Rogers and The Flying Nun episodes and the children really enjoyed them.    Such a fun time on the happiest farm!  Thank you BB and Poppy!
