On the road for a little fam farm time

The past week or so has been anything but consistent due to abnormal amount of snow fall on the east coast. I am all for snow days, but with the ever looming threat of school going until July I'm actually a non.pro day of snow day convert. How's that for an unconventional label? The non-snow dance does exist in some areas of the country, although not publicized to the greater public:)

With a 2.5 day week there was no other way to welcome a three day weekend than with a trek to the farm. It was wonderful seeing my parents not all that long ago, but being able to slide in an unscheduled visit was a definite perk. As the boys grow with leaps and bounds it's always a joy to have those extra few days thrown in here and there.

Keith and I hopped in the car and endured a rather traffic laden endeavor, but an enjoyable one nonetheless. We were able to roll in early evening before Gabe and Tristan headed to bed. It's crazy to think Gabe will be one next month and Tristan is pressing five. We were welcomed with hugs and the standard Tristan fist pound (with an added explosive sound for effect) that has the ability to lighten my heart in under a second flat.

Even though the weather wasn't ideal, it was still wonderful to have the opportunity for catch up, watching movies and breaking bread with some of my favorite people in the world. Jess, Keith & I did a little four wheeling with the pick up around the perimeter of the farm. It's always fun to off road and take in some seriously crisp country air with unbelievably epic panoramic views. Our tour was met soon after by a few renegade pigs who managed to push their way through the metal fence securing them from the adjacent field. Herding pigs is a tad harder than it seems, but entertaining and a good work out for the heart. It took a little creativity involving a bucket of corn, some rope, a knife and the quad, but we overcame the obstacles and lead the pigs back home. Yay, Jersey farmers!

It was a great weekend that went by quickly, but certainly worth the trek down. As we head into a four day week pictures of my little dudes have been updated in the office and on the fridge. No matter how challenging the day, a quick glimpse of them makes everything always seem ok. Love my dudes : )
