We all loved our time at the acreage! The extra fresh air and space to run and be as loud as you want is always wonderful. The kids got nice and dirty and even snuck some water for mud pies in the sand box. I brought lots of extra clothes on purpose, knowing that they would spend a lot of their time getting messy.
These guys love their Grampa!
The kids pretty much followed Grampa around the entire time. They "helped" him clean out the pens and enjoyed wheel barrow rides over and over again.
Hyrum gives a thumbs up to acreage livin'. He was in heaven in his giant rubber boots.
The weather was to die for on our last day there. We spent the whole day out side, soaked up some sun on the deck and enjoyed chatting.
Hyrum spent the entire afternoon practicing on his bike. He got pretty confident navigating the bumpy terrain and gravel.
Finners enjoyed some special time with Uncle Chris.
Camilla reminded me of myself at that age. I had a little pink bike, some awesome 90's clothes and pink sun glasses. I spent most of my time riding my bike up and down the laneway, and looked a lot like her in this picture. Good memories.
I let them have one last ride before bed. As we walked to the house Hyrum thought it would be a good idea to push his brothers bike into the sticky mud. I ran toward Joseph's upset cries to find him stuck in the mud next to his bike with tears running down his cheek. I couldn't resist a picture to laugh at later. I set Finley down on the grass, held my breath, and tread as carefully as I could across the mud to rescue him. I found myself (in my dress boots mind you) knee deep in mud. We took the snowy route out, and I wiped his tears once we had reached safety. I turned around to find Finley sitting in the very spot I had just pulled the bike from. The boys stripped down outside and went straight for baths! It was quite the epic ending to the day.
