St. Paddy's Day @ the Farm

For St. Paddy's Day the family congregated at the farm for the girls' first cookout/camp-out!  Growing up, I have fond memories of nights out in the pastures, fire blazing, marshmallows roasting, and a little battery operated radio playing in the background.   I am thrilled that Kylie and Avery will have the same sort of memories to reflect on!

Our lovelies.

Wild weeds, roots and all.

The neighbor's dog joined the festivities.  She was suprisingly photogenic!

Although we didn't actually spend the night in the tent, the concept was introduced!  I think we realized we wouldn't be sleeping there when Kylie protested, "But there isn't a bath in this place!"

Thirsty after playing so hard!

Evidence of the hard play  =)
