I can't believe this week is almost over already! We are excited for Daddy to come home tomorrow but are sad to see our week at the Acreage come to a close. The children love being here where they are free to roam, get dirty, raid the raspberry patch, take quad rides, and hang out with the chickens. We have had a wonderful week!
Today was yet another day full of adventure and fun. After breakfast we headed to a nearby lake and Grampa took the older two out fishing.
I put Finley on my back and walked the shore with Joe while we waited for them. He couldn't wait to get his feet wet and splash rocks in the water.
In our wanderings we came across a frog hanging out in a hole. It took everything in me to muster up the courage to pick the little guy up. Usually I leave it to Camilla or Daddy. I really wanted Joseph to have a chance to hold the frog and I wanted to show him that they really aren't scary.
He sat on my lap for a few minutes and looked at it, but would not hold it if his life depended on it. It was super funny seeing him so afraid of something. The kids had no luck fishing but are excited to try again in a few weeks! We loaded up the boat and headed back to the Acreage to fill grumbly tummies with some lunch. My Dad loaded my van up with fresh garden goods, raspberries, and a case of my Mamma's raspberry jam. I admire my parents for their generosity and attitude of service.
We took off home in the early afternoon and I had to stop my van of sleeping children to snap this picture. It was so great to spend the week with my parents. It always does my soul good to get away from the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of home. I miss that Mr. Stannix of mine like crazy though and am looking forward to his return tomorrow night!
