Saturday at the Farm

It’s been three years since we've been to the farm (boo Covid) so we packed up for a fun weekend at last!

I thought this was Levi’s first trip to the farm, but turns out we went when he was two months old. I can’t believe I agreed to that, but blog posts don’t lie. I looked it up. So this is the first trip to the farm he will remember, and it did not disappoint. 



We swam with Uncle Steve, Grandma Kathleen, and the Wallers. 

Al the boys did the small slide AND the big slide. They loved it. 









I could barely get them to take a snack break. 

Back at the farm Lewis caught a good number of toads. 











My new favorite picture of Augustine. 

I didn’t get any photos but Fr. Ben joined us for dinner! It was his first visit to the farm ever, which is hard to believe. Some of us had Mutt & Jeff’s, and some of us hand Runza for dinner. Then Logan took the big three boys to Rulo for a tour of Fr. Ben’s rectory and church. 

Taekwondo

The little boys got to watch Lewis in action. I knew the auditory input would be WAY too much for them until it is a familiar experience, so we went prepared. 





Lewis’ form is improving with his roundhouse kicks!

Lake Day

During the same weekend we also spent an afternoon at the lake with the Litts. I love the lake, and my kids are happy for hours. We took a picnic lunch and snacks.
Almost all the kiddos making sand volcanos…it’s my boys’ favorite. Make a volcano, put baking soda inside, pour in vinegar. Boom!







Levi wouldn’t play in the water. He wouldn’t walk on the sand either, but he tried! He practiced on his own accord a couple of time. Otherwise he ate carbs and sat on our laps. 

It was perfect weather. Warm in the sun so the water felt good but a steady breeze so the shade was just right.
