Country Kids









After church today we headed over to the Crane School Country Fair for some old-fashioned, harvest time fun. The kids loved the big bouncy slide, the carnival games, the cotton candy, prizes…but reminding us that simple is always best—the highlight was swinging on the swings and practicing jumping off.  We returned home to lunch on the deck, warm sunshine and David and Judy home from Santa Fe. And after a series of bad sleeping nights (for all of us) it was a surprisingly wonderful, easy day that ended with happy kids asleep at 6:45 tonight. Here’s to the pleasures of old-fashioned comforts, the most treasured being blessed, blessed sleep (fingers crossed that tonight will break the bad streak).
