The week before Thanksgiving Sam and Ryan and I packed up and headed out to the farm for an extended stay while Daddy was off hunting. The boys did wonderfully travelling- something I had been quite worried about. Gatfly and Boppa got a good taste of Sam's "two'ness" though he was pretty good most of the time for being so out of his element. It was so nice to be able to spend that time and we thank them so much for everything! I'm also glad Ryan got to meet and spend a little time with his extended Bacon/Hansen family too (see previous post). One of the high-lights of Sam's week was going in the combine with Uncle Roger- he's still talking about it and gets a huge smile! We may have a future farmer on our hands! Now we're looking forward to our December visit with Uncle Josh, Auntie Debora and cousin Thomas when they're home from Germany- should be good times!
Post-popcorn snuggles with Gatfly.
Come on up mom!
Bye bye Rog!

I go in the combine now!
Project time! While Gatfly and Great Auntie M made lefse, Sam made pine-cone bird feeders for the dogs...I mean the birds...
Yes, he licked the pine cone.
So proud!
Lucy likes peanut butter too...I'm not sure I hung the first couple high enough...
Ryan supervised the lefse process, taking notes for future reference.
Sam trying out his new barn clothes.
Wash my boots! (he also wanted the knee of his pants washed off- kneeled in poo...)
Sam's on quality control...
Supervising Boppa.
You may carry me home now.
