Suburban boys on a Farm

6/16/14 - Monday 

Clark started Little Grizz basketball camp today.  Mom & Gma are supposed to leave for home tomorrow.  They have been so helpful.  They've tackled cleaning and organizing, stuff that's been neglected for a few months now.  They've been doing fun activities with the boys too.

More candy bar game.  Coolest GG ever.

Tonight we went to Julia & Casey Crosby's farm for FHE.  Reid came home from work with a massive migraine, so I took the 3 older boys by myself.  Mom & Grandma stayed home with Rhett to finish up some freezer meals.  They wanted to leave us in great shape for when they leave tomorrow, since we'll have the rest of the week before Dad & Rachel get here.   

At the Crosby's we ate hotdogs off the grill, and had a great time chatting while the kids played on their trampoline and tire swing.  Then, Casey took us out to the barn and gave the kids grain to feed the horses.  They loved it!  Casey saddled up one of the horses to take the kids for some rides.  Each one got a couple turns to be led around.  This was the first time my suburban raised boys have ridden horses.  It was so fun to watch the joy on their faces.  I tried to sit down as much as possible while we were out there.   

When we got home, I was shocked to see the rest of the bishopric and their families working on our yard!  They mowed, weeded, pulled out a dead tree, and just made it look a zillion times better than it did.  (It has not been a huge priority lately).  The Crosby's were in on the grand scheme to get us out of the house.  What a sneaky trick!  I felt so overwhelmed at their service and love.  Wow.
