We snuck out to the Acreage this weekend to surprise my parents (since they had both hinted that we should come out). I mentioned my phone call with them to Mr. Stannix and his reply was, "Let's go!" I packed our bags in under ten minutes and only forgot jammies for the younger two! We arrived late Friday night and enjoyed good conversation and comfy beds.
The weather was beautiful! The kids were outside shortly after 7:00am on Saturday, except for Hyrum who slept until 9:00am!! By the early afternoon Joseph was begging me to lay down with him in his bed and fell asleep shortly after.
Before long people started showing up to help finish up the greenhouse my Dad has been working on for the last little while. They needed extra hands to get the cover on and lots of friends showed up. We finished our afternoon with a big BBQ for those who came. It was a hot day, and lots of us ended up with sunny red faces.
I enjoyed listening to the birds and the quiet this weekend. There was no traffic, no commitments, no where to go. We worked hard, but it was also relaxing. The children played outside long after supper and came in for baths as the sun began to set on the horizon.
