Saturday...At the Wilson's!!!!!

This morning, after sleeping in till 10:30, we had "Gage Breakfast." It was basically just potatoes, pork sausage,  onions, and scrambled eggs all put together. It originated from Gage's birthday breakfast, when he asked his mom if she could cut up all that stuff and saute it together. It was VERY good. Then we also had fresh canned peaches, bananas, toast, and yogurt. We were all going to play frisbee football with the boys, but before we could get out there, they quit, and jumped in the pool. So instead, me and Ky asked if we could go explorin' around the property while the boys swam. 


          "Walking toward the back of the luscious meadow, we got a glimpse of the beautiful New York countryside. Crossing the 'hedge-row' we happened upon another verdant field with a small pond and a most picturesque tree. Continuing on up the country road, we arrived at the crest of one of the many rolling hills. On the right was a small old-style farmhouse which belonged to Rich's parents. Turning, a breathtaking view unfolded before us.."














After walking back down the hill we set up the camera on self-timer. We got quite a few interesting pictures...



We noticed some cat tails on the edge of the pond and decided that they were worthy of a picture or two.



When we got back to the house the boys were riding the 4-wheelers and the ladies were harvesting fresh vegetables from the garden. The produce Tammi gets from her garden is amazing and so beautiful!



After getting all the vegetables picked and put away, we began to make a late lunch of homemade pizza. Next we headed outside to see what the guys were doing, and found them sprawled all over the yard. Then the boys hopped back on the 4-wheelers and took off again.



Soon Jeff noticed the small, grey chicken house over by the barn and decided that he needed to take a peek...

When the boys got back we had lunch and Jeff and Rich put in the screens so we could leave the windows open (since the high today was 75!)


After lunch we played frisbee football and hung out outside until the Perish's came over for some fellowship around a campfire.



Gage took me on a ride!
