We have just returned from a very fun filled weekend at the Acreage with family. It's always nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, even if it's just for a few days.
Hyrum fell asleep before we even left the city, Joseph babbled and complained for 3/4 of the drive and Camilla watched for cows and other interesting things to take pictures of. I love driving the back highway and admiring my favorite view just a few minutes before we pull into town. We've made this drive enough times that Camilla recognizes when we get close and excitement builds.
Hyrum helped Gramma make pancakes on Saturday morning and we all enjoyed them with whip cream and homemade syrups. My Mamma's a pretty great cook!
The kids took to the sandbox first thing in the morning just as it started to warm up.
Daddy did some cutting and crafting with Grampa out in the garage.
They pieced together a little sandbox for our backyard at home.
My Uncle stopped by for a quick visit and the littles lucked into a short motorcycle ride.
The littles took turns collecting eggs with Grandma. Fresh farm eggs are always a treat.
We enjoyed a lot of time outside, as well as some storm watching!
Joseph tripped and banged his head on the cement, but it looks much better than I thought it would.
We also helped pull the patio bricks. Camilla was such a trooper. She carried one block for every two blocks that Daddy carried and cheered us all on the whole time.
On Sunday afternoon we enjoyed visiting Great-Gramma and Grampa next door. It's such a treat for them to be able to spend time with their Great-Grandparents. Hyrum also loved that he and Gramma were matching.
We left Sunday evening after dinner and made the long drive home. All of the kids were asleep before we left town, tired from a weekend of fun and play. I enjoyed chatting with Mr. Stannix until Joe woke up just outside of Calmar and screamed the rest of the way. Because of the late nap, no one fell asleep until well after 10:00PM.
