Abby and Eli Come For A Visit

Abby ahd Eli came to spend Friday and Saturday with us this past weekend. We had so much fun! First, while Grandpa took our amish friends flying, we got to run around the meadow picking berries. Then we came in and watched Sponge Bob and made paperdolls. And ate a little candy.
Abby trying on my "old lady can't see small things" glasses. She actually looks good in them.
Next we had a campfire weenie roast!
This is how Taffy looks whenever Eli is around.
My attempt at the American Gothic, only no one was cooperating.


Saturday we took the kids to an Amish auction to support our new friends the Yoders. Now that was fun. Homemade ice cream, berry pie, funnel cakes (that's just what the kids ate there!) and lots of animals to pet. Abby got a hold of a small kitten and carried it around most of the day. There were ponies, goats, chickens, rabbits, horses, cows...... Plus the fellowship of the Yoders and their family (alot!!!!) and friends. A perfect day. And of course there are no pictures for obvious reasons. Next we went to the County fair even though it wasn't completely up and running. Pouring rain cut our day short but not until we ate a little fair food and saw some more animals. Back home to pack up their stuff and off to meet their mom. This is how we returned them...exhausted!
