Spent a relaxing time at my step dad's farm. It is about 15 acres of alfalfa, corrals, barn and some rolling hills in the back good for cross country skiing and snowmobiling. He once had about ten horses but now has begun collecting antique cars so the barn has been converted to accomodate storing them.
A cat named Gorgeous greeted our ancles and circled around to each child's leg. Bono yelled with excitement and picked her up enthusiastically -- or should I say -- by the tail.
We got some carrots to feed the horse. Bono ate his carrot, Riley only wanted to watch, Liam fed the horse with confidence and Fionn tried throwing the carrots to the horse. In case you don't know, horses can't catch. (A little FYI there for ya)
About seven years ago an inground pool was added to the south side of the house and at night it glows different colors. We swam day and night and played silly contests of who could make the biggest splash or the most funny jump. Sean won with jumping high and landing on his butt on the diving board. He would bounce and fall into the water. The kids loved it and asked for more.
The next day Sean spent the afternoon cleaning the inside/outside of the camper and van to get it ready for the next leg of our trip. He had a setback with some awning trouble but got it resolved. The rest of the evening was spent helping bail hay and stacking it. Hard work is always satisfying and to see a job well done is one of my husband's best rewards.
It was time to head into South Dakota to see the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore so the next morning we said our goodbyes.
