the farm

Erin came home Saturday night and stayed home until Sunday evening. Mainly to go out to the farm one last time before grandma and grandpa move. This was going to be her last chance to get out there with basketball starting. Yesterday afternoon was so much fun. We were all out there, and Erin, Annette, and I walked all around their property taking pictures and just enjoying it. We found some really awesome antiques in grandpa's shed. Took a few of them for ourselves :). With their permission of course. I just realized yesterday how much I am going to miss that place! Walking around brought back memories of so many things. Fishing in the pond when we were little...playing on the hay bales...playing in the grain bins (and getting in trouble)...helping feed and water the cattle...riding the old horse grandpa used to have. Anyways! I wanted to share some pictures that I took around the place. We are so excited for grandma and grandpa moving on to this new stage in their life, and getting a new, huge, beautiful home! And the great thing is they still own the farm, so I'm sure we can go out there anytime we want :). Although the threat of getting snowed in during Christmas won't be the same :)
