Another Farm-tastic Time

Ethan and I had our bi-annual getaway this 3E0015.JPGweekend to the Kennedy farm in Clifton with Cara and the kids. It was absolutely wonderful. There's nothing like getting out of town (but not having to drive TOO far), being in the country with tons of stuff for little boys to do, having someone make wonderful meals for you, and staying up late watching movies with your college roommate. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Ethan didn't know what to do with himself with Jack around and chickens, cows, a pool, a wagon, dogs, guineas, gardens, etc. Even though they're 7 months apart, the boys play so well together and they just pal around with each other. Since it was so stinkin' hot we had to spend a lot of afternoon time indoors, but they stayed entertained jumping off the couch onto the cushions, making forts and tunnels out of boxes and blankets, chasing each other around in circles, playing Mr. Potato Head, eating lots of snacks, and the list goes on. Thank you, Kennedys and Cara, for a WONDERFUL time on the farm. We need to plan another visit before the baby comes so we won't need a 4th crib!

P.S. I have to admit one of the best parts of the trip is the last day because of all the goodies you get to take home - tomatoes, jalapenos, salsa, pepper jelly, jam, eggplant, squash, ... YUM!

  4. I know you both had so much fun. It is just nice to get away for a few days. And what a blessing to have such a great place to go and such great friends to share that time with. Wishing you all could come here for a few days....

  5. Thanks for the "country time!" We loved having you guys. Jack is a little embarrassed, though, that you put that picture of him in the wagon, picking his nose! What happens on the farm - stays on the farm!

  6. Thank YOU and "Mickey" for coming and being such good friends to all of us. Can't imagine our lives without the Parker/Starrs! God has blessed you and Cara with a deep lasting friendship, and we can see it happening with the boys already! Mam
