Farms, Monasteries and Hikes

For Lindsey, homeschooling mom of 3 (very, very pretty and sweet little girls I might add). I forget sometimes how much fun it is to have all my kids home with me all the time. It really is the best. You are on to something, that's for sure!
Today we had a delicious (free!) breakfast on the farm and then played an epic soccer game. Mom+kids vs. Dad ended with a win for us. Barely. Light to moderate cheating was involved.
Up next was a monastery! I've been to one in Hulbert, OK before. I rode there in a police car, but that's kind of a long story. They were in prayer in the sanctuary so we hurried ourselves out as to not disturb them. I tried to get audio but the sound is no good.
Then lots of hiking! We have found we love soccer and hiking. We had a picnic at the monastery and then tried to visit a castle (closed).
We found a little playground and was happy to have the whole thing to ourselves.
We came back to the farm and hit up the playground here. These kids were made to move! As long as they (and Curtis and I for that matter) are in motion they are happy. We ended with another delicious meal on the farm. I would say I'm anxious to go home and sleep in my own bed tomorrow after 8 nights in hotels but I'm not sure where that is anymore! We have gone full on gypsy. 

I sure hope we don't have to drive through Marseille tomorrow!

    1. The hike was at the top of a very big mountain. My phone said 45. At the bottom of the mountain was the playground and the kids took off their coats and the bank clock said 16c whoch is 60 degrees. Its warm in the sun, short sleeve weather, cold in the evenings or if its cloudy or windy.
