"You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." Desmond Tutu
Doug and Ann hosted us at the Dry Farm for our Family Reunion this year and I love going there. We spent the summers there growing up and I love the beauty of the rolling hills, the fresh air, the wild flowers, the choke cherry trees, the aspens, the grain that waves like the ocean and the peace and beauty that surrounds the dry farm.
Thank you, Danielle for these beautiful photos you took of the dry farm - you captured the beauty so perfectly!

Doug has installed a zip line and the kids spent hours every day playing on it. At first, Arianne, Jacob and Grace were kind enough to pull the others - and did so for hours, then someone got smart and got out the four-wheeler . . . ah, that was a little easier!
