Country


It truly feels like summer, we spent the weekend back at the Wilson Ranch. The boys hunted for snakes and toads. We walked through tall grasses to get to the barn to pet and feed the horses. We even got to pick ripe cherries from an old cherry tree. It brought back memories from my childhood and I hope my boys will someday feel the same. My husband and I got a night out while the grandparents watched the boys. We rode tripped to a small town street dance, we rolled the windows down and you could smell the corn in the air. I just love that and of course a night out with my man! Something about small towns and the country just melts my heart. What a beautiful country we live in, hope you all appreciate our celebratory day of Independence!!
