gilman's water tower.
a house being moved. one of two since we've been here.
onarga's water tower. i try to take a pic of the water tower in every city we spend time in.

abraham and i got little sleep last night:((( he could barely breath and kept waking up coughing, tossing, and turning. no fun. we're gonna get to the bottom of this today!
eating fruit loops. (aunt mic let levi pick out his own cereal at the grocery store yesterday. hahaha).
abraham checking out the room while waiting for the doctor.
all done. total sinus infection. she's giving him an antibiotic he's never had before in case he's built up a resistance to all the others he's been prescribed.
 entering onarga for lunch. levi was excited about the "longest train ever!"
we ate at a yummy mexican resturant. after lunch the boys got ring pops.
this guy was in the middle of the road with his extended parts down, but he pulled them up and pulled over to let us pass. we are on a total "country" road, as they call it around here.
abraham peeing on the farm.
abraham climbed up here all by himself.
lidy looking handsome.
levi saying, "whoa...look at that hitch!" this is the barn/shop at andy's house.
joshua wanted me to get a picture of this peter wright anvil. he's totally obsessed with anvils now.
driving the golf cart.
papa pushed the pedal and levi steered us all around the farm.
all done.
abe playing with random things he found in the golf cart.
one side of the the barn/shop.
and the other.
heading up to the second floor.
tons of cool stuff up here.
it's a crazy tall barn. we're on the 2nd floor and it just keeps going.
crazy.

we headed over to benji's for a cook out. we hung out in their new garage. and the rest of their new addition is incredible inside!
great g'ma chasing levi. she's a total firecracker!!!
levi stacked all these cups up while we weren't lookin'.
mmm mmm. g'ma made pineapple pie today!
levi's getting really good at catching lightening bugs!
abraham was afraid to go outside because of "the bear." he has a love/scare relationship with bears.
