Adventure Guides

Reid is starting his 2nd year in the adventure guides program with the YMCA.  It's such a neat little program that the Y does with activities all year for Dads/Sons or Dads/Daughters to participate in together.  They had their first event on Saturday at a precious little place called Storybook Ranch.  They got to pet animals in a petting zoo, go to a pumpkin patch & ride a pony.  Reid was in heaven as you can tell!!  This boy is one BIG animal lover! 

Crafty boys

Last weekend Reid got a birdhouse & paints from one of his friends for his birthday.  He's never been a big "crafty" kid, but he was SO anxious to do this!  He was very careful with it & knew exactly how he wanted to paint it!  From a Mama who loves to craft, I was so proud!

I let Riley-Roo get in on a little crafty action by painting up the windows with window markers!

This was my attempt at being crafty the other day... went outside to take a picture of the sunset & ended up seeing this AMAZING rainbow across our whole entire streeet!  I had all the boys come outside to see it,  & Reid's exact words were, "The Lord must be blessing us!"  Profound thought from a 5 year old. Heart bursting.

FIVE!!

Down an old country road...

these are the kinds of things I love about farm life and being out in the country.... you won't find these kinds of pictures in the city.  or at least I haven't found them yet!

The future Dr. Reid Lindsay

Yesterday on the back porch at Nana & Grandpa's farm.  Riley saying "chEEEEEEEsE!!!" 

These boys have been precious this week.  We have had a crazy week and played inside a LOT!  Where is fall & that football season weather? It has been a fun, but busy week.  Second week of school and routines have settled in. Reid said his first Bible verse in front of his class at chapel, had his first t-ball practice, and we went to visit my in-laws this weekend at their 60+ acre. farm.  The boys absolutely LOVED it and had a ball!  Ready for a rest day on Labor Day tomorrow.  The Lindsay fam will not be *laboring* tomorrow!
