Last week our good friends invited us out to their newly renovated farm. Like us, they live in the city. However, (unlike us) they ride horses and recently bought a small farmhouse out in the country near their horses. My friend did a gorgeous job renovating the little farmhouse. It is so pretty. Next time, I will take photos of the inside too.

Our kids LOVED the farm! And so did Dave and I.

We relaxed on the beautiful porches while the kids wandered around and enjoyed being out in nature.

The kids got sweaty and dirty....

But most of all, we really enjoyed a relaxing day in the country with good friends!

I think we need to get out of the city more often.

    Looks like a great place to unwind. My parents live in a setting similar to that and I love taking Kerry over and just letting her run around and explore. I see Kate is still into her hula hoops =).

    A change of scenery and pace is always enjoyable ~ I'm not too sure about that snake though!

    Kim- LOVE the sunflare, and Kate in the hula hoop....and the bokeh from Dave on the porch! (can you tell I'm deep within a photography obsession?)

    Mostly though, love the time you spent with the fam. Aren't farms wonderful?

    Isn't it amazing... only somewhat recently have I truly understood why my dad always had to "get away" to our lake house (pretty much in the country). Now my husband says those exact same words so we go and we honestly feel "centered."

    Don't know how I'd feel if I saw those "critters" though! Yikes!

    That picture of Kate in the hula-hoop is perfect.
    When I was younger we rented an old farmhouse on a working farm for a week in VA. We had such an amazing time...there were farm animals, apples to pick and a creek to play in. I felt like Laura Ingalls! My sister and I were talking the other day saying how we would love to go again...
