Memorial weekend 2013 was windy and chilly. That didn't stop us from enjoying a weekend at the farm. The boys once again rode the 4 wheelers in to the ground with Adam, Greg and Ellen. They went out to the hunting land, ran around, checked out the creek (it was full and flowing fast), ran around some more, played baseball and hide and seek, ran around some more, and visited Kyle and Maria's farm - and then ran around some more. Toby the donkey was a huge hit, as were the farm cats. 
Kale even got to ride with Kyle in the tractor - and experienced what it's like to get stuck in the mud! Those 4 wheelers sure came in handy! I think the best thing about being at the farm is that all the fresh air makes for great naps - including me! The boys were up super early Saturday morning, and after realizing we didn't bring any cereal I took the kids in to town to pick it up. We were back by 8:15, and Adam wasn't even up yet! The boys wanted to go fishing, but the weather didn't quite cooperate. Adam and Greg got out for a little bit Saturday afternoon, but the wind and cool weather kept the fish at bay.
Kale was pretty funny. Dana, Adam's 2nd cousin, was teasing Kale and calling him Kal, which is how both Kale and Nolan pronounce his name. Kale got frustrated and told Dana "It's Kal, not Kal!" - meaning Kale, not Kal. Who knew he was such an assertive little guy? Later outside he was busy counting a few of standing around, talking. He counted up to 4, but there were only 3 of us standing there. Kyle asked him who the 4th one was and he said "me!", and ran away.
One of Nolan's highlights was helping dismantle a tree stump in front of the house. The stump was rotting so it was easy for him to pull off pieces of bark. There were lots of bugs in the trees, so he and Kale enjoyed picking them out and putting them in a frisbee.
