We can now say that Eric' and Amanda's wedding was a HUGE success!!! The weather was perfect, everyone did great, the food was delicious, the drinks were flowing, and the dance floor was hoppin'. The next morning came a bit too early. Having two small ones who love the early morning hours made it a bit difficult. Dad got up early to farm. He helped Uncle Jim in the fields. Sawyer was up with the sun basically. Charlotte did sleep a bit longer than Sawyer so Alex got to sleep in more than I did. (not that I am keeping track :) ).
We got up and had a delicious breakfast prepared by Grandma Ann. We helped Eric get things loaded up and Alex went out to the fairgrounds to help get everything cleaned up there. We all ended back up at Grandma's throughout the afternoon (as usual, people just filter in and out all day long.)
We finally made it down to the pond for the afternoon though.
Uncle Rick loves to spend weekend afternoons out here fishing.
Melissa was a maniac with the catching of the fish!!!
Grandma and her pond. This just might be her favorite place.
...fish after fish...
Sawyer and I sat on the blanket with Aunt Michelle and Kyla and played.
Alex didn't have much luck catching so he took one of Melissa's fish...
...and showed Sawyer his first fish that he could touch.
Rock on, Dude.
This guy loves the farm and he loves to fish.
Melissa and Caleb decided to take the row boat out on the pond. We weren't quite sure if it would sink or float :) And we weren't quite sure if they would be able to get back to shore...
Dad finished plowing for Uncle Jim and made it out to fish for awhile.
I went back to Grandma's house to check on Charlotte and get Sawyer some snack. Charlotte was taking a nap with Aunt Kathy. When I got back, they had just woken up so we went back down to the pond.
They are maniacs together.
She looks a bit crabby :)
When we were finished (and full of bug bites), we headed back to Grandma's house for supper, snacks, and Alex prepared the fish they caught. Then he and Dad headed back to Metamora. The kids and I stayed a bit longer.
My favorite time of the day is dusk. LOVE IT. Love it.
I took picutres of the pond as the sun was setting.
Amazing, right???
It's a beautiful place. And to think this used to be a feed lot a few years ago.
The kids and I then headed into Didi's house so that I could upload pictures onto her computer.
Charlotte put her own shoes on.
Charlotte was so happy that she got to see Sadie.
Such a good girl. She is such a big part of the family :)
We loved our day at the pond. It was a great way to end a family filled weekend. Days spent at the farm are like no other.
