The return of the mysterious Esther....

Actually this post is mostly about what we did yesterday while we were waiting for Esther Schatte to get dropped off at our house. :) Rachel, Bekah, Faith, and Lizzy had come that morning to help with processing, and we finished around 1, and Es wasn't coming till 7:30.....So, we went on a walk all around our property!!! It was fun! We literally walked the boundaries all around our 55 acres!!! There are places on the back part of the new land that are very much like a jungle!!!

Starting off on our adventure! The west side of the new land.

Our house from across the road and a field

Crossing the first of four creeks....
well, actually it's all the same creek, just it winds around quite a bit! :)

Liz and Faith

all these 'jungle' pics are along the south side of the new land :)

This part of the creek had water in it,



The ones with Boots on were able just to wade across....but Sarah, Rach and I had worn our tennis shoes.....so.......

Andrew carried Sarah and I, and Bek carried Rach across!!!
Many thanks, you two!!! :)



Sarah and Rachel looking at each other through the culvert.... :)

Ok, this sounds strange, but getting in a culvert and singing is one of the funnest things, EVER!!!! :)

Trying to re-create this picture! :)
missing some people, though! actually, Bek and I are the only ones in both of them! :)



Friends forever!!!!


Kyle and Peter being typical boys!

Andrew's cows. The road is the east boundary.

Lizzy had a friend!

walking along the east boundary of the original land

Andrew's turn for a little hitchhiker! :)

Bekah and Buster :)

Sisters

Along the North boundary, we decided to stop at the pond and stick our feet in the water! :)

No, she really didn't! just a pose!!! ;)

it felt soooo good!!!


I think our neighbor's horses would have liked to join us....

tried to get pics of the minnows....

At long last, the Browns showed up with Esther and Amanda Smith, who is down here for a few weeks! the girls were pretty much attacked with hugs as soon as they got out of the car! :)

catching up.....

All of us girls!
Hope, Amanda, me, Esther, Rachel, Liz, Bethany, Sarah, Bekah, Hannah and Faith
Glad to have you back, Es!!!
