After all the stick-picking up on Friday, we decided to bring the girls out on Saturday (before the rain on Sunday) for a little work and a little play. The girls were thrilled to run around, while Garhett entertained them and worked too--he was excellent with the grass catcher!
Eric had plenty to do with his new wagon--he has told me many times he LOVES it.
Around 5, Amara couldn't stand the anticipation anymore and asked if we could start the bonfire. Daddy got it rolling for her and in a second it was ready to go. ( a few years worth of sticks in the yard will do that) 
We all enjoyed some dogs and smores and grandpa even stopped off of the tractor for a quick hot dog before getting back out to the field. The MOST special treat though, while we were all sitting together, was a train engine that happened by. The girls were so excited and the engineer blew his horn and waved at them.
Our bonfire wasn't long-lived, but it was sweet and we all had a blast. Sure it's April, and borderline too warm--but it was perfect.
Cora (in true fashion) stole Grandma's chair, and found the perfect position to relax. I had to throw the girls in the bath when we got home from all the sticky marshmallow, but it was SO well worth it. I love the things this house is doing for and gives our family.
