When we arrived in Yakima there was a lot of work that needed to be done. There was no time to just sit around.
The children went right to work gathering all the walnuts that had fallen to the ground. Those poor squirrels have no idea where all of their nuts went.
I have no idea how many pounds they picked, but I came home with several walnuts!
Did you know that walnuts look like this before they are ripe? Kind of cool, huh?
My two little girls have a fear of dogs, but it didn't take long before Allie and Elizabeth became BFFs.
They were given a short break to enjoy some walnuts, although they had to figure out how to get them open.
A wheelbarrow full of walnuts!
Elizabeth also made friends with the cats that were everywhere.
The lawn needed to be mowed desperately.
But then, this happened. Smoke is bad news.
And then, this happened.
While that was happening, David was playing on the other tractor. "Look, Mom, I'm airborne!"
Thomas played with fresh cut grass. My allergies are flaring up just looking at him with that grass.
Straps (or bungees) can make everything better.
There was a little time to play around after the walnuts had been picked up.
Rebecca (she's just 1 1/5 inches shorter than me) has grown like a weed making things that seem simple a little more difficult to accomplish. ;)
Allie was so patient with all of our children. She put up with a lot from them.
Gator rides were always welcome fun on the farm.

My boys are drooling over that gator, tractor, mower, all of it. Your weather looked great and the grass is so green is beautiful.
