We'd all been looking forward to Saturday for a couple of weeks. My sister and niece were planning to be out at the farm to get in on the tail end of wheat harvest - or at least that was the plan. The continued rains have kept us out of the fields for over a week now. So we kept busy doing other things!
Levi and Rylee each took turns playing Grandma's violin.
And in the afternoon - just after it quit raining - we went swimming! I didn't think it was hot enough to get in, but the kids had a fantastic time in the water.
Levi was pumped to be able to wear his goggles!
My aunt and uncle have this fun (and fast!) merry-go-round thing.
The kids got it going pretty fast! I got dizzy just watching them.
My boys ate breakfast, lunch and supper at their grandparents' and it was great to share a couple of meals with Erica and Rylee. The kids played dress-up and baseball and much more.
Our kittens are getting a bit more brave - providing quite a bit of entertainment for us. Although, each time Harrold comes around they puff up and hiss at him fiercely.
The weather was perfect for sitting on the deck and visiting.
And then FINALLY it was time to catch fireflies! Levi had been waiting all week to catch fireflies with Rylee.
Fireflies cover the yard between our house and my parents' - making it a magical place just after the sun sets. Erica was antsy to get going home so we had the kids start catching them as soon as the first ones were lighting up.
Ben helped corral the bugs for the kids and they ran around and grabbed as many as they could!
Nothing like running around the yard in your jammies catching fireflies!
