yes, smoke DOES follow beauty

the weather was gorgeous yesterday, and jesse had the great idea to build a fire and cook hotdogs for dinner. we have 54 acres of land that comes along with our rented home, and it is nice to get out and enjoy the space every chance we get!


so, it didn't take kate and i very long to find truth in the old saying "smoke follows beauty". i couldn't get her away from the campfire smoke- every direction we turned! and you all thought the smoke was following me... :) (you'll have to ignore the baseball cap on kate- in our dash to get outside and make the most of the sunlight, i realized that kate has no "girly" sun hats... so she had to use her brother's...which actually first belonged to cousin ryan!)
so, i finally layed her down in the stroller where she enjoyed playing with her toys, while jesse, jacob and i enjoyed our hot dogs and marshmallows...yum!



after dinner, we journeyed out to the edge of the field for a visit with the hay bales. (or hayballs, as jacob calls them)








for all you jackson fans- here's jackson trying to jump up (couldn't get up by himself- jesse ended up having to give him a boost)




what a pleasant evening on the farm!

Looks like a fabulous afternoon. Way to go to have the camera along to document a simple, but fun memory!
