Next stop on the Spring Break road trip... Quad Cities! Colin and I hadn't been to visit the Andalusia farm in almost 2 years... so it was way overdue. Big thanks to Liz and Bri for opening their home to us to add to the madness! We got to meet the newest addition to the girl clan, Madison Grace and spend much time with the growing Ellis (3 1/2) and Josie (2)! Of course, you can't forget the dogs Molly and Rico and their kitty cat too.
The neatest part of visiting our dear friends is that they live on the land where Liz grew up, and now live in her grandparents home. The house is on a sprawl of acres, full of woods, rolling hills, trails and a pond. The farmland is across the road and now rented out, the entire place is beautiful, peaceful and feels like home.
Ellis, Colin and Josie - making MUD PIES! And these girls know how to play in the mud, much better than Colin for sure!
Ellis, Josie and Colin goofing around / Brian taking Ellis and Colin for a ride!
Colin being silly to amuse baby Madi / Liz making chocolate covered strawberries for a treat with the kids!
Sweet girl and Mama / Family cookout and bonfire on Saturday evening, the kids playing bags (note the team :), wonderful time spent with Liz's family around the fire and roasting marshmallows!
Let's just say that Colin and Ellis were two peas in a pod during our visit... this was a moment where I asked the two of them to smile for a picture and Colin pouted a 'NO' and turned his head away... Ellis following suite.. but then of course I got them to change their minds and got a silly picture of these cute silly kiddies!
