Picnic on 20 acres

We went out last night with some friends of ours, who also have six children, to the property of 20 acres we are looking to be able to share with them. We had a nice little Bar-B-Q and some fellowship while we discussed the inns and out of getting our homes onto the property.

Their family is not so lopsided gender wise as ours since they have an even number of both. Though that is not so soon to be true, they are expecting little girl number four in the summer time.

I was trying to figure out how to adjust my camera to give the photos a more natural look but it just didn't want to do it with the the lighting being the way it was. I took the pictures as all light from the sun was dissapearing and the camera didn't want to function without the flash, which cast such an unatural look on everybody. I forgot to turn on the red-eye reduction as well as you will plainly see in some of the other photos.

They are looking forward to doing some small time farming with us, and we are glad to be able to give what little knowledge we have about it in return for the generosity they have shown us. It should make the next three years an adventure for both of our families.

Since we grilled with charcoal while there, the grill was still too hot to take back with us, so we had to leave it there. We were teasing about coming back in the middle of the night to find the coyotes all standing around the grill cooking up some jackrabbit. "Fred, pass the pepper please. You forgot the pepper!?!?" "Do you happen to have any Grey Poupon?"
