This morning was a bit slow. I kind of tried to sleep for most of it but wasn’t really successful. After lunch we all went down to the zoo in Grand Rapids for a couple of hours. Luke enjoyed that and the weather was great. This evening we just hung around the house.
After breakfast this morning we went outside and picked plums. It was very foggy and pretty. We came inside when it started raining and stayed in through lunch. Luke napped afterwards while John and I split and stacked firewood. After Luke’s nap we all went for a walk out back until it started raining. I showered and watched football with John until dinner, which came early this evening. Luke just had his bath and Liz is putting him to bed now. His activities today included peeing on a wall in the hallway and pooping in Lily’s litter box.
Luke turned three and a half years old today. Pretty wild. After breakfast we went for a little walk around the farm and rode on a hay wagon. Luke picked an ear of corn and thought that was pretty cool. We went to see his cousin Hannah play soccer and then returned for lunch. This afternoon we just hung around the farm and picked some more pumpkins. Luke enjoyed that. Tonight after he goes to bed Liz and I will go to the grocery store.
This morning after breakfast John and I took some pears to the Amish auction about an hour away. We stopped first at a little bakery though, and got some amazing pecan rolls. The auction was pretty cool – mostly pumpkins but lots of other produce as well. We returned to the house for lunch and then did a couple of little projects. They involved replacing rotten wood under the eaves and there is more remaining. Late afternoon everybody loaded up and we drove to Spring Lake to watch my nieces in the homecoming parade. That was nice and then we picked up some Chinese food. It was pretty late by the time we returned home. Liz is putting Luke to bed now.
We all slept in a bit this morning. The downside to it staying light late in the evenings is that it stays dark late in the mornings. After breakfast Luke and I went outside with John, and he rode the tricycle around a bit. We also picked pears to take to the Amish auction tomorrow. After lunch Luke and I napped, then Liz got off work and everybody went to pick some small squash in the back field. We had dinner pretty late this evening. Now Liz is putting Luke to bed. The weather was incredible today.
