Reunion on the farm

See that tiny little girl in that great big tractor? Yup, that's Eleyna.






Basically since the dawn of time, the Rassmussens (that's Bry's mom's side of the family) have held their yearly family reunions on Grandma and Grandpa's potato farm just outside of Rexburg. Summertime visits to the farm make up some of Bryson's favorite memories from childhood. A few weeks ago we packed up the kids (again!) and drove up there to spend the weekend with the Rassmussen clan. It is always nice to visit with family you don't get to see very often, but the unanticipated highlight was watching Eleyna go hog-wild with happiness. There was neverending open space to play, rocks and sticks to pick up, motorcycles and dune buggies to ride, tractors and tricycles to climb on, and on and on and on. Plus, two of Bry's cousins have kids almost exactly Eleyna's age to play with. She did not want to come home to our boring house! It was pretty chilly up there for August so Hunter had to hang in the house with me most of the time. Hunter and Grandpa Rassmussen are special friends and they fell asleep together on the couch one night. So precious.

Eleyna can't wait for next year!
