More Lyman fun

It's been a pretty crazy summer. We have been away from home for WAY more weekends than we have been at home.

This was last weekend in Lyman.

Grandpa T. got a horse.
..and we rode it and rode it.
Chase and his cousin 1 month older reading books together.

One of my favorite thing about going to Lyman is that I get to see what the farming life is like. My new experience this time was with picking potatoes.
and then eating our fresh labors.
Chase didn't like picking potatoes because he kept tripping over the plants- so he found his own little way to help.
These boys love Papa T.


and here is part of the reason. Papa T. gives lots of rides.

Then theirs always Grandpa's gym. We took turns pulling each other around on the scooters and when Daniel got too tired to pull Teresa, Chase took the reins.
Recently I have been asked to do some pictures for people- believe me, I wonder what they are thinking as well, but of course I love doing it. I asked Daniel to help me practice using a reflector and this is how it went.

This is after I took the pictures for Daniel's sister. She offered to snap one of us in this lady's backyard. Her backyard was a beautiful forest. But you should have seen the secret room in her house hidden behind a bookshelf. What a fun place to grow up.

And for those who want to know... I didn't end up winning a spot in the workshop. Personally I think I was cheated out of the spot, but that's probably just the sore loser speaking. I really appreciate those who helped.

Oh, that's too bad you didn't win that spot, I could tell you wanted it. I KNEW I didn't click it enough!! Anyway, looks like you guys had tons of fun in Lyman! Cute pictures! You don't NEED that Jarvie guy to be a great picture taker!
