It's a song we sing with our kids and it goes a little something like this...

"I love you (insert your name here),
Oh yes I do,
I love you (insert your name here),
this much is true,
when you're not with me, I'm blue
Oh, (insert your name here) I love you
Oh, (insert your name here) I love you!

{land of 10,000 lakes}

one of our summer adventures was a trip to MN to visit "tractor grandpa & grandma".  (my grandparents that aiden gave that nickname to because they live on a farm with tractors.  duh.)  they were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and a family reunion was in order.

i think the kids could have stayed all summer at their place.  so much to explore outside!  i loved that i could just tell them to go outside and play and they didn't need a grown up with them.  we can't do that in boston.

played with kitties every day. this one was dubbed "rex"


i know she looks like she wants to run, but "blackie" was so patient with owen.

cows (and flies) in abundance.


cousin baseball

remind anyone of field of dreams...the corn and all???

little boys and golf cart rides


aiden & miles both learned how to ride a 2-wheeler while we were there.  her knees practically hit the handlebars.

he learned first.  aiden stopped what she was doing, got on the bike and didn't get off till she could ride too. so funny!

youngest cousin...baby briar

love this one of tractor g'pa feeding briar



making hollyhock dolls with g'ma terry


owen thought cousins logan & landon were THE best! tractor rides with them down the lane.



the boys found these plastic guitars and cowboy hat in the toy bin. they were rocking' out!

strummin' smurg guitar

she read little house on the prairie while we were there.  seemed appropriate.

cousin landon. the best thing since sliced bread. owen still talks about him just about every day

aiden drew a picture of her holding a kitten and entered it at the county fair.  here she is with her blue ribbon!


saw alot of this.  kitten hunting.  there were at least four litters while we were there.


it kind of just shook rocked him to sleep

"spot".  so creative with naming the animals

this cracks me up!  tractor g'ma talking (we have so many pics with her mouth open telling others to stop crying and smile).  and the death grip on one escaping owen.

better

farm...we miss you.  thanks for the adventures and new memories.  we hope to come back soon!
