Madison trip: On the farm
Three summers ago, my uncle started an annual tradition of hosting a family reunion/picnic at the farm that he, my mom and their two sisters grew up on. (Luckily, my parents were there for that first one.) We made sure that our trip coincided with this year’s reunion – and, so, out to the farm we went a few days after we arrived. It was a little too cool to swim, like we did last year, but the girls once again played with cousins (they had a lot of fun with my cousin Ken’s little boy), ran around the farm and drove some tractors.
“I’m a city girl, not a country girl,†Avery had told us as we were driving through the country and commenting on how rural things were – but you wouldn’t have known it as she happily drove two tractors up and down the driveway. She loved it!
