On the Farm

We went on a whirl wind tour of the Midwest in early June.  I got inducted into my High School Hall of Fame  and my cousin Kerry was getting married the following weekend, so we decided to make it a road trip.  As part of the road trip we went up to see my dear friend Jenny and her family.  Jenny and her family live on a farm north of the Quad Cities in Iowa.  The boys thought it was so much fun!  They got to go on tractor rides, feed the cattle and we took them to the John Deere Pavilion to see the machinery.  It was great time!

The boots hurt my feet - that is what happens when  I don't wear socks.

Strawberry Picking

We joined the local farm to get locally grown produce.  As part of that we get into the festivals for free at Great Country Farms, so we took the boys to pick Strawberries.  They had a lot of fun and Aaron enjoyed eating them vs. picking them.  

Look at how tall I am!

Me Too!

Easter

Easter was quite the festivities.  We attended the Easter Egg hunt held in out neighborhood and my parents came into town for the week before and hung out through the weekend.
