Saturday Morning and Farm Visit

This morning I was in Elsie's room with all the kids and I was talking with them about why Mike is such a good daddy. I asked Weston, "what makes Daddy such a good Daddy to you guys", thinking he would respond, "because Daddy works hard" or " because Daddy loves Jesus". Instead Weston said, "because if Grace and I fell in a hole Daddy would save us". You have to love the mind of a 4 year-old ;)
Last night we went out to eat dinner with some new friends, the Knifong Family. The Knifongs live on a small farm outside of Sandy and have 4 children. They have chickens and a cat and lots of room for the kiddos to run around. Weston and Grace had a great time riding the little John Deere tractor for toddlers, feeding the chickens, swinging and just running. I told Christi Knifong they got more excercise last night than they usually get in a whole week! Grace was especially excited about the fact that the cat had a dead mouse. She kept running up excitedly saying, "A mouse! A mouse!" and pointing to where it was.
Mike and I also enjoyed the time of fellowship. The adults got to sit by the campfire overlooking a beautiful pond and several green fields. There is something so calming about hearing frogs do their evening croaking while the sun is setting. The Lord has really blessed the Knifongs with such a beautiful place to live and we were blessed to enjoy it also!
