Country Kids.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Annie+ Katie


My little city-fied apartment-dwelling kids got to spend an afternoon in the country this weekend…

…doing fun stuff like swinging from ropes in trees that they never get to do here at our apartment complex.

They had a blast.

And once again, I’m having fantasies of moving to the country, milking my own goats, churning my own butter, and having half a dozen more children and homeschooling them all.

OK, maybe not.

I’ll probably just stay here in my apartment for a little while longer….

But we’ll go visit again very soon.

    Haha! I am a city girl who turned country. I am now living in a small town and it is a hard transition. One day I hope to be in the country again. But not right now. Besides, it is a lot of work! We don't have time for that! 😉

    It is a lot of work to live in the country! But I wouldn't have it any other way! Love it!
