We are still having a great time. I got up fairly early this morning to take some pictures. It was nice and cool out after last night’s storms. Soon after we brought Luke out to look at the moon, which he loved, as usual. Liz didn’t work today except for a brief afternoon meeting, so we had a lot of time to do stuff. We all rode in the truck to the back of the property, then walked to he big pond. Luke was thrilled to see two turtles. It was a scouting trip to determine where a platform will be built.

Before lunch John and I went to get some fresh strawberries from an Amish lady on the other side of town. They were a big hit with Luke. During his nap I did some work on the next house design and materials lists. After he woke up we played with a train, then went outside to pick up sticks and ride the dump truck. It had stormed between lunch and play time. He ate a ton of strawberries at dinner and did not want to go to bed.

It was a pretty busy day with lots of projects getting done. We moved wood, mulched, and Luke got his first ride in the little Cushman farm cart. It was pretty warm today and will be hotter tomorrow. We had pizza for dinner and it was delicious.

We left the house at 7:32 yesterday evening and arrived at Liz’s parents’ at 6:22 this morning. So under ten hours of driving, which is surely a record for us. We stopped once for gas and twice to stretch our legs. Luke didn’t sleep as much as I would have liked, but overall he did well. I slept from about eight to noon this morning. Liz and Luke slept a lot this afternoon while John and I drove around a bit. We had dinner and then Luke very reluctantly went to bed. John and I drove around some more as it stayed light until after ten.
