While visiting Grandma and Grandpa...

Rachel learned how to sew a button on a skirt. Thank you mom for teaching my kids things that I should have already taught them!
I LOVE THESE HANDS!!!

We got to look out the window and see ponies walking around in the pasture...

and we enjoyed the beautiful weather and their great backyard! The kids loved playing with their cousins and they loved the sandbox!

They worked hard...
building a "volcano."


and a tunnel
and this little girl worked hard sweeping the dirt! (BTW, this is my GREAT niece...yes, I am a great aunt to 12 children! Yikes!)
Then Grandma and Grandpa took us to the "Wheeler Farm." Here are some of the grandchildren/great grandchildren with my mom and dad...


This is Rach and one of her cousins, Tori. I love how they are both standing the same way! That wasn't planned!
Pony rides....


Feeding the ducks, from our hands!!!
It tickled!!


Rachel had to reach across the fence to feed the poor ducks on the other side that weren't getting any food! Typical Rach, looking out for those in need! :)
It was fun!

Thanks Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, for a great visit!
We love you!

Love this!! Sounds like the time with your family was as packed and wonderful as our Truman week! Your mom looks like the classiest lady - just what you'll be, I'm sure! And all of your pictures are so, so beautiful! You've gotten so good with that camera!

Thanks again for all the fun while you were here! We love you!

I love Wheeler Farm, I grew up going there, we used to go every weekend, and especially at Halloween, they have a haunted forest that is scary! I tell my kids about it all the time but I have never taken them......thanks for taking Chyna, I bet the kids loved it!
I missed hanging out with you guys, it looked so fun! I cant wait until you can come up with the kids and skimboard.....Love ya!
