We were up at the property over the weekend, and I thought I would share a few cute pictures of the kids. We had a lovely time, although it ended up raining on Saturday. We did get to take a nice walk around the property on Friday though, and I saw several wildflowers I had not seen before. Of course I forgot my wildflower book, but I’m going to try to look them at home and see if I can figure them out. If not, well, we’re going back up this weekend and I’ll try and remember to bring my books this time! Most of the property looks beautiful, except for the middle part where the house is going to go. It is a muddy mess, but I suppose that is to be expected. It is amazing how much havoc and destruction you have to cause before you can start building!

Anyways, here’s the pictures. I’m going to post some pictures of the house site over on the house blog too.

Here’s Gregory trying to figure out how to walk downhill. Note Emma in the background, trying to climb the slope. Do you think she’s glad to be out of the car?

And here’s Emma standing next to our big pile of logs that were cut down on our property. At this point we’re thinking we’re going to have someone come in with a portable mill and cut them into some sort of reasonable sized planks, then we’ll use them to build outbuildings and such.

Here’s Gregory, sampling some of the local dirt.
