Clara Margaret

Instead of writing this date on the calendar I will document on the blog. My older sister was visiting us a few weeks ago and we kept Clara up too late. She was apparently exhausted because she slept until close to 11 in the afternoon. She did look so sweet and content.

Sweet corn

Craig's parents planted a field of sweet corn on the farm and let the kids pick some. They not only enjoyed picking it but also playing in it. I thought it would be nice to fill the freezer with some. I ended up freezing 35 cups of corn.

Duck herder

Ollie is qualified for a new job! He was entertained by the ducks at the restaurant in my hometown.

Hills of Athens

The boys are enjoying the new terrain in our yard. Landon wished there was snow already covering the ground but their scooters will do for now as a means of transportation down the hill.

Clara Margaret

Clara is trying to keep up with the boys. She is still easy going and laid back, constantly smiling, and always looking for someone to wave at.

Park

We discovered a new park in town a little less popular and the boys had fun for a while but got bored easily interacting with each other and not a new face. Before they got bored with each other they followed each other down the slide. Landon discovered a short chin up bar and was doing flips off.

Lunch date

We had a lunch date with some of our dear friends from high school. Geoffrey has sheep, 3 (about to be 4) donkeys, a llama and dogs. We love going over to see the animals. Sitting on tractors never gets old, especially tractors that they have never rode on. They also got a golf cart ride. Clara was even climbing the fence.
Funny how we only go to Geoffrey's house maybe two/three times a year but Landon knows exactly where Geoffrey keeps the toys!
It was great to see friends and let our kids play together.
