Day at the Farm

Okay, okay! So we are summer blogging slackers! We've just been having too much fun this summer to take time out to blog! So now we would love to catch you up on all our summer adventures.

First up, a day at the Rucker farm. Jonathan's Aunt Pam and Uncle Jim own a huge piece of land near Berea, Kentucky. Both Pam and Jim are pastors of local churches, but they also manage this fantastic farm! Caroline got to meet goats, chickens, and a donkey named Cinco. She especially loved gathering the chickens' eggs...she wouldn't let go of the basket! What a great day!

Nana surprised Caroline with her own 'MP3 player' for the ride up.


Beth had a blast riding Uncle Ronnie's Harley...my first motorcycle ride!


Check out this video of Caroline meeting Cinco the donkey. Listen closely...


Caroline and Riley the dog had an instant bond. It was so cute! Riley stayed right with her the whole time...


Jonathan rowing out into 'Lake Rucker'


The Ruckers also board horses (this is KY, folks!). Here's a great group shot of some of the family after walking down to admire this beautiful animal. He's a prize winning race horse!


After an exciting day and with a belly full of Aunt Pam's famous cake, Caroline finally zonked out. Check out Jonathan and cousin John trading Mac 'tips'...ha!


Thank you, Ruckers, for hosting us! It was so great to see everyone. We had a fantastic day and can't wait to see you again soon.
