E-I-E-I-O...To The Farm!

These pictures are at Bill & Steph's farm. One of N8's favorite places to be.
Here we attended a fundraiser~ Andrew's Annual Art Auction in honor of N8's cousin, Andrew.

Here's the website to learn more~ http://heritagehill.org/default.aspx

It's a great cause & so much fun to see our family & friends. At the auction there's tons of food, drinks (& BEER), & loads of activities for kids: pony rides, crafts, bouncy castles, and more. This was the first year we attended con bambini. Eri had a BLAST. He loves the farm. We would catch him repeatedly saying: Ohio, farm, horses, cows, tractors, big tractor, big big tractor, and more.

Bros! Tom & Jim take a moment to relax after helping with set-up.

(Notice Tom's t-shirt...SEE! Wichita Falls is so popular, they even make t-shirts for tourists!)

These 4 (Evan, John, N8 & Eri) are supposedly setting up, but it looks more like they're having fun driving the gator around.

Here is Tom & Jack helping with setup...wait a minute...

Auction Day! Andrew & Eri had fun playing around the farm, but when it's all said & done Andrew likes playing with his mom's sandals & Eri likes playing with the watering can. It's the simpler things in life.
Rich finally gets a moment with little Leo.
Grandma Kay and Rich try to take the little guys on a pony ride. Not quite so successful.

Farm animals are cool only from a distance, according to Eri & Andrew.

The funniest auction item I saw! Cindy's adorable snakes. She painted sticks in wild and bright colors!
Tormenting is what big brothers do best.
The tractor-train ride! Eri & Drew loved this ride...but maybe Rich loved it more (he's riding with Drew in the green train).He's all smiles here!
A horse, of course! I can't remember this horse's name, but we'll just call him Ed.
Craft time! Eri gets to color his own t-shirt.
Courtney snagged Leo as often as possible.
Rocks & digging: this farm place is so much fun!

Aww, brotherly & sisterly love.
