More August Fun

Another big highlight of August was having my brother, Joe, and his girls visit us from Boston. The kids had a blast getting to know their cousins and showing them around rural Minnesota. It was especially nice for Elena to have some more girl cousins her age to play with as the Myhre side is so heavy on the boys. 

We lucked out that school started later than usual this year so we had the entire week off.

Our niece, Hoku, is especially fond of pigs, and we were luck to have good friends who had pigs farrowing the week they were visiting. These piglets were just a few hours old. So much cuteness!!

After seeing the pigs, we were treated to a "ride" on the hydroswing door of a machine shed. I hear it was a beautiful view (I stayed down because I knew Frankie would want to follow me if I went on)

Frankie especially liked riding around on Uncle Joe. I recall making Joe carry me around everywhere as a kid. Now that I've finally quit asking him to carry me around, my kids stepped right in line!
