We always have such a great time letting the kids loose on the farm.  They have so much fun and learn in the process.  One day we were taking a walk with the kids and Abigail who is five saw a pile of yard clippings in the field and said “Daddy look at that.  That [...]

Had a great time with all my friends riding in a new area I have never rode before.  It was a three day trip and we all had a great time.  We are planning on going back soon.  We even found an old crash landed helicopter from the Vietnam war near the border of Burma. [...]
