A Trip to the Farm

Road Trip to the Farm

My moms side of the family lives in Fisk, MO. Growing up my mom use to take us kids (my sister, brother, and me) to see her grandparents all the time. We loved it up there. We also have some great aunts, uncles, and cousins that still live and work the farm. We don't make it up there nearly enough,I hadn't seen a lot of them for over 5 years! But my aunt from L.A. went to surprise my papaw for fathers day. So Christopher, Allison and I decided we should road trip it up there to introduce Olivia to all of the family! It was a blast. :)

This is what we encountered at least 5 times while driving. Ha.. You know your in the country when...

This is my brother Christopher in the yellow, my cousin Michael in the hat, and Braden on the left. They have grown up so much since I saw them last!

This is the whole group minus my mom because she couldn't make it up there. :( It was SO wonderful to see them all.

I didn't mention that my FAVORITE thing about going up to the farm as a kid was that we always had the best fruit and veggies. They are all so fresh and GREAT! Well, it didn't let me down this time, we had homemade pickled okra (one of my favorites) and then on top of that, they sent home 7 A-M-A-Z-I-N-G tomatoes! I was in heaven. Even though it was a quick trip- it was worth it! I loved seeing everyone and HAVE to make it up there more often to see them. :)
