Family from out of town

We are still playing catch-up on our blog posts.  This summer was extra special since we had the kids cousins from Florida here for about 6 weeks.  And they were able to stay with us on the homestead for a few days.

Daniel got to ride on Big Red while the older kids were playing.

Jessie holding a small rubber boa.

Michael now holding the rubber boa.  They are very docile, and slow moving, definately my favorite snake.

Dress up time, giddy up.

Lily & Daniel doing some artwork.

Here is Daniel wearing the racecar apron and helping in the kitchen.

Yummy spoons!

Fire roasted hotdogs with breadsticks wrapped around them.

Looking good Ev.

Dessert time, SMORES!

This was the first year we have gone to the Hillsboro 4th July parade, and it was a lot of fun.  Next year we will show up about 45 minutes earlier to get a better spot.

All the kids before the parade.


It would appear they are waving, but they are actually trying to catch all the candy that is being thrown out.  We had no idea that was part of the deal, and the kids came home with tons of candy.  A lot of it was broken from hitting the pavement.

We got to show the cousins how to herd chickens and gather eggs.  It was great for our kids to get to spend so much time with their cousins, and we hope all of them remember it for a long time.
