Aaron's family has a farm that has been in the family for 100 years. It was started by his great, great, great, or something like that, grandfather, George Washington. Not the famous one. Obviously. His grandpa was born in the barn there. His dad spent many summers out on the farm. Aaron remembers visiting as a kid and now my kids have had a chance to enjoy the same land. It is kind of neat! We had the privilege of going out to the farm last October, meeting the sweet family that runs it, and that is where my girls' first fishing experience took place (that well-stocked pond has ruined them for all other fishing trips). This summer, while Aaron's dad was in town, we visited the farm twice. Once with Aaron's brother and family and once for the 100 year commemorative get-together. Each time the girls enjoyed the fresh air, playing in the dirt, the sunshine, the animals, the tree swing, the homemade ice cream, and the extra attention they receive from the fam.
It really all boils down to...
What city kid doesn't enjoy escaping to the country for a little bit?! :)
Here's to more memories on the family farm.
Next time we visit though, this City Mama's vote is that we visit in the fall when it is much cooler.
(Yes, Dad, if you are reading this, I can hear you now.
I am a wimp in the heat and not afraid to admit it!!)
