A Visit to Uncle Jack's

Today the kids and I went to my Uncle Jack's house for a visit. The main purpose was to help my dad harvest quite a few potatoes from the garden (Uncle Jack and Dad have their gardens together), so this left some time for Taylor to explore the barns and such around Uncle Jack's house. She had so much fun living the country life today. I have to admit, as much as I like living in town, I do miss the simple pleasures of being in the country and I'm so glad my kids have the opportunity to experience this from time to time.

Well, during Taylor's adventures today she came upon this little treasure in the barn...

Oh how she loved on this little kitten. She's never had the chance to hold and love a baby kitten before - what an exciting first! She officially named him/her (never looked to confirm either way :) "Whitie". She hopes it will still be living in Uncle Jack's barn when she returns for her next visit.

Between adventures with Taylor and Bryce being VERY needy - Dad and I were actually able to accomplish quite a bit in the garden. We harvested all six rows of potatoes - now that is a lot of potatoes! My back is feeling it a bit tonight, but not too bad. The weather was just beautiful today, so I can't complain.

Btw, these were some of the potatoes we planted in the spring - if you remember that post. Taylor did help a bit.

Well....preschool open house Thursday night. Wish us luck!

More later...
