| Posed in front of the family mural. |
They did a lot on their brief visit to our home. They got to bottle feed the baby goat, feed apple slices to the big goats, help gather eggs in the hen house and go for a ride in the bucket of Ron's tractor. Their grandmother took that ride with them.
We received the following note from the children after they had returned to their Chicago home.
What a great little note from the kids. I know that they had a blast at your place. Who wouldn't? And I love the family mural. I think that might be something I would want to do, so I may be stealing that idea. The sandhill babies are cute, aren't they. We don't see them very often so that was definitely a treat and one reason I always try to have my camera with me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great note. A keeper! I love to see things like that.
ReplyDeleteWhen my nephew went to camp for the first time when he was 8, his parents got a postcard that said, "Golf, bows and arrows." I don't think there was a comma. :) Someone probably said to just tell parents what you are doing. :)
Bonnie -- It was especially a treat for these city kids. I too always have my camera with me...except when I need it. LOL
ReplyDeleteLynn -- Your nephew's note would have become a standard response in our family for the question, "What are you doing?". From then on it would be "golf bows and arrows".
That's an adorable (and very detailed) note. I love it! The mural project sounds perfect. Maybe I'll do that with my kids' artwork. I must dig for some in the old scrapbooks.
ReplyDeleteNo nothing - and your sister is good to teach them this. They were so sweet. sandie
ReplyDeleteCreative mural project. Just good manners they have writing a note to you.
ReplyDeleteLucky you have a ready art gallery n petting zoo for all the family tourists...! What, no chicken races? Looks like you made quite an impression according to the note! Perhaps they will farm in the future too- N they are cute too!
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet! I love getting actual notes in the mail, especially from my little bro and sis. Your place sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful experience they can tuck in their memory banks....
ReplyDeleteThat note is a keeper. So very sweet.
ReplyDeleteThis city girl would send you a real nice note if she got to do all those cool things at your place, too.
Just sayin'... ;-)
i love that the children are taught to write thank yous! What a fun time at Grandma's!
ReplyDeletei love that the children are taught to write thank yous! What a fun time at Grandma's!
ReplyDeleteCute kids and very thoughtful too. But that's why we didn't stop in, I hate gathering eggs.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you give your wife a ride in the loader bucket and then accidentally hit the wrong lever and it goes up and you can't remember exactly how to get it down until you drive around for a while...she'll get a bit testy. Uncalled for anger I'd say.
I'd love to have had youas an aunt as a child:)
