This weekend we loaded up and headed to Papa and Grandma's to celebrate Bruning's 125th birthday. Going back home isn't mommy's favorite thing to do but spending time with family is important. They are a link to your past and the ones most likely to be by your side in the future. Time goes fast. I hope daddy and I help you to learn to love others and to cherish your family first and foremost. We will try our beat to make it fun along the way!
Uncle Shawn, Uncle Tracy, Aunt Krissy, Abe, Aunt Nikki, Reese and Hannah were already there by the time we arrived on Friday night. You both had an awesome time staying up late and playing with your cousins.
On Saturday morning we headed in to town as members of the Hinrichs Family Threshing crew. Sometime we will have to sit down with you and explain threshing. Now isn't the time. You both enjoyed sitting on the old tractors.
Later in the afternoon you got to be in your first parade with all of your extended Hinrichs family. It was super hot but you both did great. There was a little pool on the float and you both played around in the water to help stay cool. Brett, you are so funny. You love, love, love splashing around. Sam, you had your first peeing outside experience (actually two times). Although it isn't a great idea to pee in public sometimes you don't really have a choice. We didn't have a choice on Saturday and you did awesome.
After the parade we headed back to the farm. It started to sprinkle a bit. Once the threat of storms passed daddy saddled up Bones and Gary and Sammy you went for a ride. Hannah joined you on Bones and you had a blast!
After the rides were done we just hung out with the family. The adults had some adult beverages and you kiddos ran around playing. Brett, you got some quality cuddling time in with the adults. Before too long you will be running and riding with the rest of the crew but for now we will enjoy holding you and playing Pat-a-cake.
Love you both,
Mommy
