The day after harvest ended proved to be a very slow day around the farm. Life had been moving at a quicker than normal pace for twelve days and then suddenly back to usual.
It was a welcome change, and gave the boys a chance to play on the farm instead of being distracted by the possibility of riding in a combine, truck or tractor.
They had a ton of fun with the sprinkler hitting the slide. They spent most of their energy on NOT getting wet, but that's pretty typical for them - that well water is COLD!
In the evening, we went over to my cousin's place. Their little Delaney is quite the hostess! She was eager to share, show and make sure everyone was doing OK - even her kittens.
The boys love to be at their farm, play with their toys, bikes and especially
the Gator!
We had a small collection of fireworks that the guys and older boys worked on setting off. So far, Noah and Levi haven't shown much interest in fireworks. I've got no complaints about that! We didn't buy any this year and it was nice to not worry about them burning themselves or blowing themselves up. I'm sure it's coming, but I'm thankful I didn't have to deal with it this year.
Sparklers were fun for Noah.
And while Levi was quite tentative at first,
he loosened up (a little) eventually.
As it was getting dark, we decided to take off for McPherson to see the show they put on.
It turned out to be a delightful and low-key holiday. Good food, good people, good fireworks.
