Last weekend we went over to Grandpa's house for the kids to finally get warm and enjoy the great outdoors. Nate cranked up the speed on the tractor that he had to keep at a low speed last year because he's finally getting old enough to handle it. Now the tractor goes so fast it's difficult to catch the kids in action:
The kids used old scraps of wood to create unique new play toys and then they painted them:
Sassy took nice long walks in the orchard outside of Grandpa's house:
And played on the tire swing (after Grandpa and the kids got it put up):
You just can't beat the joy on his face though!

And got so dirty that only a mom would love that face:
You just can't beat the joy on his face though!And Amanda enjoyed just being in the great outdoors and NOT getting dirty:
John and Dad fixed the 1956 Chevrolet in Dad's garage, moved a lift down into the basement so that Dad could work on it, worked on the van, and got a few more things done around the house.
It was a wonderful week! Now we're back to the real world and getting the house ready for an Easter celebration with five kids!
