Farm Fun

Well, we are reluctantly back from the farm. I took fewer pics this year because I tried to be more "in the moment". I also have the luxury of getting pics from other photographers at the farm. The best shots can be seen at the following website: http://bagelturf.smugmug.com/gallery/5671273_aFPU7/1/349317558_wCykk#P-1-20

Of note this year:

Ian's love Nora wasn't there but he managed to survive anyway. Erin developed a crush on Patrick a 14 year old boy who allowed her to hang on him every time she was around him. He even went out of his way to have dinner with us one evening to appease her. Clayton was able to join us for 3 nights so we managed to see him just a bit this summer. Swing dancing was a huge hit again (see me doing the funky chicken above), I also played horseshoes for the first time ever and discovered I'm actually pretty good. I ended on a win by teaming up with a generous young lad who was willing to take me on as a partner and by Thursday we managed to beat the old men who named themselves "Old age and treachery". I'm also the reigning limbo champ beating out the young girls for the third year in a row. My back still hurts but I had to represent for the old folks :0)!!!

Despite the lack of pics, Dan really was there. We both managed to get colds while we were there but becuse of my relative youth and amazing immune system, I recovered much more quickly than he did so he wasn't featured in the pics.

Erin cried as we were leaving because she wanted to stay and Ian got a bit emotional as well. It's always hard to return to reality after having had all meals cooked for you and no dishes to wash for a week.... We'll get the hang of it again eventually.
