At the Homestead

 We are spending some long overdue time at the acreage this weekend. Camilla has been excited to go for over a week and even made up a little craft all on her own to help her count down. Each day she has been pulling a piece of paper with a number written on it from her wall to keep track. 

When we arrived Dad was working in the garage and my Mamma was in the garden pulling fresh carrots. Not long after we got there Joseph tugged Daddy's hand and asked in his jibber-jabber for a wheel barrow ride. 

After that we wandered up to check out the raspberry patch. It's near the end of the season so it was pretty slim pickings, but we did manage to get a few handfuls each. 

Ah, the good life.

The neighbor was up picking and let the littles take a turn on her pony. Camilla was in heaven! The grin on her face was so priceless. 

Hyrum had his cute little smirk on. You could tell he was excited, but he was so excited he didn't want to show anybody. They loved it!

I had been secretly wishing for one last storm this season, so when I saw the clouds rolling in I got a little excited. It started with sun showers and we even got some nice thunder and lightning. While I was visiting with my Grandma in the kitchen she pointed out this awesome double rainbow and I ran for my camera.

So excited!

I finished off my evening with a slice of peach pie and some visiting. Even though I'm all grown and have a family of my own, there is still something special about coming home.
