Last year around Easter time, my parents and I made a trip to my sister’s farm to see the new baby chicks they had received. Since then, we have been wanting to get back up there and see the progress, but it hasn’t worked out. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity. We went to church early this morning, then my son, brother, parents and I all headed to the farm. My other sister met us there for lunch and a Father’s Day celebration. We ate and celebrated my dad, and ate some more. We loaded up my dad with a bag full of goodies. My other brother called in, so it was nice to have everyone present. Then we went down to the chicken coop. My parents have seen the chickens on video, but now they were able to see in real life how big they are and the colors of the different breeds. My sister threw them some snacks and it was fun to watch a little commotion. Then we got a tour of the garden. They expanded it to now 3 times as big as it was last year. A lot of the plants were starting to grow and the plot looked great. We will anxiously await the first harvest. My mom said that even though she saw everything in real life now, it was still hard for her to believe the farm life that my sister and her husband chose – especially all the work they do while having full time jobs besides. I agreed. All in all, it was a great day and hopefully we will be able to visit again a little sooner.

I Found God today being able to take my parents back to my sister’s farm.
