Walk on the Farm

My grandparents have had a farm in the country for nearly 50 years. They both loved the land. I have so many memories of them working the land together. With Grandpa gone, Granma still works on her land all summer and loves it. Cutting paths and keeping it up. It is not my passion, but I love it here. I spent lots of time here as a child and have many great memories. I love sharing it with my boys, even though I am kind of a city slicker:)

Quint was eager!

Russell running round the fence too

Exploring the path between the trees

Quint and Russell led the charge

GG was a great guide, giving us nature lessons along the way:)

Quint and Russell found a place to hide in the tall grass

Exploring the grass

(they were pumped...I was thinking there are lots of bugs and maybe an animal or two in there...yikes!)

More exploring

Running up the hill in the field

BIG SKY is not just in Iowa!

GG and Grammy make it up the hill

More dogs my boys love

We went to visit my Gramna (GG to the boys) and she has two dogs. The boys are so spoiled since it seems most people we know here have dogs:) They were pumped to play with the doggies! I don't see us having a dog for a long time (if ever) so I am glad dog people share with us!

Russell is jazzed. Maybe we will have to get a dog....someday:)

Ball in the tree....

We brought some balls to Great Granma's farm. Grammy was playing with the boys with the ball and by accident threw it in the tree! It was a big tree and the ball was stuck! HAHA. It was a dilemna:) Grammy was determined to get it, so she found a big stick in the shop and the ladder to fish it out. It was a good 15 feet up, so it was a task, but the boys, GG, and I thought it was funny. Grammy got it after a little hard work:)

Grammy its up there!

Way up there.....

Don't worry Grammy was raised on the farm, she will get it!
