Oregon in the summer time

a day at the farm

memories were made yesterday while we spent the day at the steinkamp farm

 great grandpa drove the boys around in his orange truck. I'm pretty sure yesterday was one of the most exciting days of their summer.

 berries, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, broccoli, cucumbers, potatoes, apples, blueberries, and more. Each stop and pick was just as exciting as the first one.

 their enthusiasm over everything made the heat melt away

 sweat dripped from their faces, dirt splashed on their legs, but they trudged on with joy.

 nursing while riding on the back of a truck, I thought I was either going to fall off or drop noah. I couldn't stop laughing at the hilarity of it.

 I love their joy over every simple little thing. Everything is big and exciting and their enthusiasm is contagious.

 We ended a good day at aunt mary and uncle craig's house with a dip in the pool and some delicious dinner and dessert.
