Here's a picture of the pond that will someday house many fish just waiting to be caught.
The kids were really great. They actually sat and ate lunch with us. The last picnic we attempted involved lots of chasing and bribing.
After lunch, we went for a walk. You don't realize how big 25 acres is until you walk around on it. We did lots of exploring... the kids just wandered around checking everything out.
It was fun to watch Chris with Tucker... I know he can't wait for us to move out there so he can teach Tucker to ride, hunt and fish.
Reese totally surprised me. I used to say she was an "inside girl" because she cried anytime we were out in the sun. That has totally changed and she absolutely loves to run and play outside now. She pretty much walked the entire 25 acres. Those little legs were working hard. She wanted to check everything out on her own and wasn't afraid to make her way through the waste high grass.
After our walk we learned how to "skip" rocks. This really consisted of Reese and Tucker throwing rocks in the water. In hind sight, I'm thinking it probably wasn't a good idea to teach them to throw rocks.
Reese has a pretty good arm though... for a girl.
Then we played a little soccer. They are pretty good actually... we might have to get them into a league next year. Did I mention how much I loathe soccer?? I would rather watch golf. Boring. I don't know if I'll be able to handle putting them in soccer. We may have to wait for t-ball or something.
Look at that form. I'm telling you... she's pretty, but she's sporty too. Watch out.
There's a big grove of oak trees at the front of the property and Reese and Tucker had a blast hiding and jumping out to scare each other.
We can't wait for them to get to play like this all the time. Playing in the backyard just isn't the same. They were so happy... and totally pooped when we got done.
Tucker picked the grass and tried to eat rocks. Surprise surprise.

We're excited about moving our family out west. Hopefully the house will sell this spring so we can get going on things. Until then, we'll enjoy spending days just playing outdoors. Here are a few more pictures of the land. Everything is pretty brown right now... but just imagine it all green.
It will be such a peaceful, beautiful place to raise our family. Exciting times are ahead for the Tims!
