On our way there as we were driving through gorgous Kentucky countryside, we saw this foal. He couldn't have been more than a few days old. We pulled over to look, mommy and daddy were very protective, not at all happy that we even pulled over, but we just snapped a few pictures and headed off.
Look at that sweet face!
In the directions from Lorie, once you pull onto the road, she put "look out for cows in the road." We thought it was a joke. Then we saw this:
Then this: The buckshot definately adds to the authenticity!
Next thing we know, there are cows on ether side of us, and no fences! There are things in the road called "cow fences", they are grate like things that go across the road and are about 3 feet wide, I guess the cows can't cross them. Jeff decided he wanted to pat the cows. He stopped the truck and got out and stated to walk slowly over to the nearest cow, talking nice and soothingly. The cow wasn't fooled, he must have smelled the beef from his last burger in his system, cause he backed away and took off! I turn around just in time to see this behind us!

This is Lorie and Dave's boat house and dock from the patio, which is about halfway between he house and the lake
And here is the house from jut below the patio (you can see the patio). Amazing!
And there is my hot boyfriend on the patio on the way up to the porch.
My favorite picture from the day. Alison and Sarah Beth (Lorie and Dave's daughter) fishing at the boat house.
They have a paddle boat and the kids had a blast! Here is Julianna on the right and Emily, a friend from church on the left. In the back is Sarah Beth and Alison.
And here is Phil, Emily's dad with Emily and Julianna on the boat. He kept yelling "Ahoy!" He reminded me of the scene in Alice in Wonderland when they characters are in the flood of Alice's tears and the Dodo bird yells "Ahoy! And other nautical terms!"

While the kids were paddling around the lake, Jeff and I walked down the street to check out the other houses (and see what was for sale...). It is hard to see, but this is a roof, see the dish on the right hand side? From the lakeside, it was amazing!!
Then we found a house that had this! An actual railroad car, on tracks! Jeff was in heaven. He loves trains, and the woods and the lake. This was like his utopia!

I thought this was cool, the way the tree grew around the barbed wire. We should learn from the tree, learn to embrace what irritates us!
And this is a little guy I like to call "Angry cat". I know, not original, but still, look at that cat! And this was using my zoom, we were no where near them!
On our way back we saw this hex on a farmhouse. A while back in art class they learned all about hexes and what they are for. They were very excited to see this one!
