The Farm!!

Every year I take a trailer and head to Hood River, Oregon to get several bins of apples. This time we stopped at The Farm on our way home to visit Great Grandma Copper! I think the kids would choose to live there if given the choice!

This particular day we drove up to find Grandma moving along quite fast with her walker, helping with the end of the day chores that needed to be done. 

The kids piled out of the car and ran to see if they could 'help'!

She then proceeded to grab the last dahlia from her 1/2 acre (or somewhere around that amount) of flower garden and stick and pose for the children and farm crew! What a riot!! We sure love this lady!

 She gave them all rides on her walker:

 Halley so enjoys animals, it would be fun to get her one to take care of some day!

 Nate M. found a loose rock from her rock wall and found a fossil in it and had a great conversation with Grandma about creation!

 We got all of her crutches and walkers and wheel chairs out of the barn and had a ball using them around the farm.

 She even was chasing Trae with Vance on the walker! I've not seen her this energetic in months.

 The boys raked all the leaves in her front lawn for her.

Vance spread them back out for us again:).

 And since it is an orchard type of farm we enjoyed the many different varieties of apples Grandma shared with us.

 Before we left Nate made a fire for her so she would be warm for the rest of the evening.

An overall WONDERFUL day!
