A Wonderful Time With Friends

We were so blessed this past week to have the Hale family from Texas visiting us! We had such a great time with them but it ended way too soon!
Giving the Hales a tour of the farm
All 4 of the parents squeezed into the cab of the truck!
It's still very wet here, so parts of the farm road are still under water. The more adventurous ones crossed this low spot on a fallen tree.

Peter climbed to the top of a tree to get an old hornet nest.
Almost there!
While the Hales were here, Emily had a booth at a local craft fair to sell her handmade children's clothing.

On Saturday we took the Hales to the flea market in Crump.

Mr. Hale bought kettle corn and shared it with all of us.
We took the Hale girls to meet our neighbor who owns the local gas station and cafe.
