Back to the homestead. I have to say it was nice to have a break from the traffic and noise and just have a chance to relax. And Thomas was happy – he found the dirt pile. Yes, a huge pile of dirt that my Dad created in the backyard became the playground of choice through the remainder of our visit. Samuel and I chose to spend our time lying on the grass and basking in the sunshine. Ahhhhhh!

That thing in Thomas’ hand is a fake wooden snake that looks frighteningly real. I admit that I screamed when Kei first pushed it in front of me. Hilarious.
