Cousins on the Farm
December 20, 2010
It’s not Christmas yet, so I’m not going to feel too bad about my delinquency on Thanksgiving posts. We went to Julie’s dad’s farm for Thanksgiving and both of her brothers and their families came out as well. For one evening, we had 14 humans and 4 dogs! Julie, Benton, Carson, and I slept up at the hunting cabin, which is Benton’s preferred sleeping spot, anyway. A (large) handful of shots of the aunts/uncles/cousins at play:
All the Cousins (and One Aunt)
Tyler, Meg, Alana, Markus, Patti, Carson (trying his best to smile), Benton
Markus Has a Snack
Markus and Patti
Paul Shows Carson Some Super Hero Moves
Benton and Tyler Skip Rocks for Fia
Meg Entertains Markus
Meg Props Up Markus
Meg Props Up Alana
But, wait. I don’t want to give the impression that Meg is 100% nurturing and snuggly!
Meg and Tyler with Their First Deer (Brett Got One, Too) and a Proud, Proud Grandpa
Chess Was the Indoor Game of Choice
Although iPod Touch Time Was Pretty Popular, Too
Alana, Fia, Markus, and Aunt Patti Head for the Fire
Markus and Alana Pretend to Drive the Tractor
Patti DRIVES the Tractor
(imagine a thought cloud over Bob’s head: “If I can get her back this summer and hook up the brush hog, I do believe she could mow the north 40!”)
