A Boy's Paradise

Today we took a trip to our friend Steve Mellot's farm. We had to get rid of a truck load of dirt that we dug up when we installed the fence (sorry for mentioning the fence project yet again). Anyway, Christian had the best time throwing rocks in this stream and exporing for over an hour. Look at the mountains in the background and the blue sky. Isn't this place gorgeous?!? Makes me wish I didn't live in a neighborhood. I would love to have several acres my little boy could run free on and explore everyday.

McKenna liked it too!!

My dad was a great sport about moving this load of dirt in the 80 degree heat!

yes, so beautiful...don't we all wish that we could live out on a farm like that...its great that you guys have a friend who has a place...gosh, i think its so important for young kids to have a place to experience farm life...our cousin's grandparents had a farm on a side of a mountain near charlottesville...we dominated that place!

How wonderful to be able to be that close to land like that!!! Boys and dirt - they just don't need much more do they! How fabulous! :)

Looks so serene. It looks like heaven would look to any trout fisherman, or little boy. I know you have sooo appreciated your dad's help. That's great!
