On Friday we left from work and drove to the farm. I told the kids that we wouldn't be spending much time there and they were pretty disappointed that they wouldn't get to play. They were pretty excited when I was wrong! We had a great evening with Tim & Penny, the kids played with Aunt Penny's toys and the cat and weren't ready for bed at 11:00 but fell asleep quickly anyway. On Saturday morning Farmer Tim asked the kids the big question... "Are you helping me with chores?" Within seconds both kids had their shoes on and stood by the door waiting for him to join them outside. He looked at me and said, "I guess I should have asked you first if that was ok." Oh well, too late now, they're off! Two and a half hours later they were back in the house and we were trying to get out the door, only to be further delayed by Aunt Penny treating the kids to cookies and chocolate.
(Kids are wearing Holmesville Dairy sweatshirts because we had limited clothes with us, since I wasn't expecting them to be doing chores on this trip.)
We finally made it to Bloomington around 1:00 for Grandpa's barbeque and it was fantastic to see our family all gathered together and enjoying each other's company. The best part was seeing how happy Grandpa and Grandma were to be surrounded by family and friends. Archer and Shelly played with Uncle Kim and Aunt Jill quite a bit. And the amount of fun they had showed up on Archer's pants, soaked and muddy up to his knees, its a good thing we had extra pants with us for the trip home!
