Family Fun on the Farm

When you are around family and back on the farm, it just can't be all sad and mourning.  So we had some lighter moments as we supported each other through the process of our grieving.  Ryan, in particular, enjoyed having his younger second cousins around to play with and our boys loved hanging out with him.  We had to enjoy the family that we are so blessed to be bonded to through Grandpa.


Summer sky, sun setting (at 945 pm) and family.

Going for a ride in the eight wheeler.



All the boys riding the "tank" with cousin Ryan.

That's an impressive wide bodied contraption on the back of the tank.

Get a picture while we are all dressed up!

Three brothers, sitting on a fence...you finish the line...


Baby Sofia...how sweet and amicable.

When nobody will drive you to the waterslide...

...you make your own...

...with a little bit of soap and a lot of water.

Playing baseball in the field.


ATV vs Go-Cart, ready race!

Now that Ryan is quite accomplished as a hoopster, we played a number of games to help the boys learn some more hoops skills.

Gramps and Bryce enjoy some shade and a chat.

Playing one of the many board games we brought in the waiting room for the ICU.

Getting to know Baby Sofia.

A brief break to enjoy the latest Minion adventure:  funniest part, the dude from jail sitting on the toilet that the minions stole, still sitting there reading the newspaper even in a plane...
