Friday on the Farm

It has been over a week since we took our fall trip to Mackinac Island and I hadn't even downloaded the pictures yet!  We had a wonderful time as usual.  The weather even cooperated for the most part.  We were looking at rain and snow for most of the time we were there, and really only had one day of on and off rain.  We biked and hiked for MILES and still, after 6 years of going up there, we were able to find new places that we had never seen. 

 

We saw snow going up and coming back, I have a feeling that winter is going to be much different than last year.  I can't wait!  We are all set here at the farm with extra hay that I never thought we would find due to the poor weather this year.  I did pay double for the bales, but I know that people in other parts of the country are paying so much more than that.

 

School has been in full swing and I am trying to keep it that way until Thanksgiving.  The Eldest has extra time off during that week, so we will be joining him and having some full family days.  That is one of the beauties of homeschool, we work around our schedule and not others.  We are still all adjusting to him being gone during the week.  He is still adjusting to the "real world" and finding out that he lives a pretty charmed life here. 

 

There are some possible exciting additions coming here to the farm, but I am going to keep you in suspense because they have not happened yet, nor am I positive they will either, I know most people already think we are crazy some days and this will just put us over the top.  Plus it is fun to keep you guessing!

 

I leave you with pictures from our trip and the farm.  Sorry about the quality, I used my phone on most of them.
