Gone Country

Richard and I took the kids and my sister Jessi and her kids to the Beals' during spring break. The weather was gorgeous and the atmosphere and company delightful.

A new friend, moo!

Nothing like climbing a mountain of chopped wood.

Off to the orchards to pick some oranges and grapefruit.

Brother Beals is about the sweetest man alive. It's no wonder that every kid in the ward loves him. Of course, having candy in his pockets doesn't, hurt either.

So, my battery died before we could get pictures of the kids riding the quads. They LOVED it! Laney was terrified until I got her on one and explained that it was safe, just noisy. She squealed and giggled in delight the rest of the ride. I also didn't get pics of the fire the boys helped build to keep us warm.

Brother Beals topped the night off with candy and popcorn. Thanks so much Brother Beals and Stetson for hosting a wonderful country evening and for all the citrus!
