Country time

We spent another enjoyable weekend in the country at my parent's place. I had so many pictures that truly captured the essence of our family's happiness while we were there.


One of our early morning playtimes! Love the light in these pictures and that it is completely natural,straight out of the camera shots!

Last time there were only two rocking chairs, but lo and behold, Nana and Papa decided to get another one. Imagine that . . .



After looking up what kind of bugs these were we found out they were mayflies (never heard of them - Daddy Pete actually gets the award for knowing that piece of bug trivia). The kiddos created a game of gathering as many mayflies as they could and creating little collections. Poor bugs.

Beautiful foggy morning sunrise - the weather was fantastic.


Papa walking the kiddos to the pier for a fishing lesson.

Pete's first fish! It was amazing - we dropped the lure and bait in the water and it got grabbed immediately! Talk about the right kind of fishing for 2.5 year olds!


Avery's first fish! Her's took a little longer than Pete's but still successful!

Now does this show little Miss A's personality or what. I have about 20 shots of her prancing around with her fishing pole. Such a ham!

We went into town because they were offering horse and carriage rides and we thought the kids would love it. I guess they loved it, they just kinda sat there in awe. I guess they were thinking "Why are we in a car behind a horse?" :)
