Day Two of Farm Livin'

We woke up to clouds and drizzle. But when you are on a farm, you do as farmers do and you brave the elements, right? So we jumped in the golf carts (because every good farmer gets around his land via a golf cart) and we headed to do some fishin'. On our way to the pond we came upon three deer standing in a clearing. It was misting a little but so quiet, peaceful, and just refreshing to take in.
Once we got to the pond we got our bucket of worms, and I gave a crash course in putting your worm on your hook. P was not a fan, but if you're gonna fish, you're gonna put on your own bait. Peyton was the only one of us that got a bite all morning. She went to battle with a 12ish inch catfish and just as we were about to pull him out of the water, the line snapped. Big bummer! Nevertheless, she was thrilled and every time she tells the story the catfish gets longer and bigger.
And fishing with Mason is less than desirable. That's all I'm gonna say about that.



We spent the rest of the day exploring, hanging out with the horses, and just enjoying getting to spend some time together. It was a fantastic vacation and we are already planning our next visit. I am hoping this trip becomes a tradition for us and will be something that our kids will look back on as adults and have such fun memories of.

  1. Sounds like a fun vacation, Ryan! Keep on making those memories with your kids, 'cause before you know it, they'll be all grown up...
