Growing up in Eugene, one of our neighbors was the Lepp Family. Ben was one of my best friends in high school, and in recent years I've enjoyed reconnecting with his sister, Katie. When we found out we were moving to North Dakota, Katie emailed to say they only lived four hours away from our new home. That's practically next door in these parts! =) Katie and her husband, Mark, along with their three kids close to the same age as ours, invited us to visit their farm while Ben and his wife, Kewalin, were staying with them. Ryan wasn't able to get away from work, but the kids and I drove up for a couple of days of farm fun!
Bedtime stories . . . my kids are still talking about this book!
Mark took the kids for a ride on the quad-bike. The four big kids went first. This was Rooke's highlight of our time with the Elias family!
The little girls had their turn next!
Ramona and Bridgette are just one week apart in age. When they were babies, Katie and I would share photos and were amused at how much they looked alike! Turns out, they still share quite the resemblance at 2 1/2!
Ben, Kewalin, Mark, Katie, and me
The kids wanted to line up in order of height. . . . which almost matches order of age as well. (Bridgette is one week older than Ramona.)
Thank you to the Elias Family for hosting us so well! We all enjoyed our visit!
