Reading-Farmer Weekend

"Are they here yet? Are they here yet? Are they here yet?"


Once they arrived, we settled right into it:


We played around outside, and Jay took a look at the giant tree that fell over in our yard a few weeks ago.


Lucy pushed Oly on the swing:


We took a walk downtown:


Both kiddos napped:


And then it started to POUR!



Back in and dry, the princesses played catch:


And read books:


Saturday morning we went to the Grist Mill and played for an hour while we waited for our own private tour. I didn't take ANY pictures of the mill this time, we were too engrossed. (here are some from our first tour with Grandpa Mac when Oly was 1). You'll just have to settle for pictures of our adorable children:

Oly playing soccer:


Lounging Lucy:


Then we played a game that fascinated the kids so much they would have done it for hours:


Throwing sticks off the bridge, watching them go over the water fall and into the pond:



After naps we played mud pies and naked painting:


While Jasper mowed the lawn:


Well, that's about it for pictures from our camera. Amy has many, many more so be patient for her post about the weekend. I'll leave you with this one, one of my favorites:

The sticks in the water, under the bridge reminded me of Pooh sticks. Do you know that game that Pooh and Christopher Robin and the rest play?
