A few of us are excited to make Reuben sandwhiches with our own home-made sauerkraut. Others are not as confident; but I think we will all want to try some since it is our cabbage! Garrison did tell us a story about men on ships who used to refuse to eat sauerkraut and subsequently died of scurvy...
It was a wonderful time of joyful fellowship. We shared a time of devotions, music and a walk around the farm, as well as good conversation.
Of course Una was a favorite among the ladies. :)
And everyone loved the pigs.
Thank you for the spending the wonderful evening with us Lonnemans!
Soli Deo Gloria!
One of Mama's favorite things to do is "caramelize" Daddy's Candy onions.
I grew Nasturtiums and Black Pansies as edible flowers this year!
And we have cabbages bigger than your head. Doesn't crunchy, creamy coleslaw sound delicious?
Our primary purpose in traveling was to attend a Christian Families at the Crossroads Conference
The fact that we were all trying to recover from a long day in the car and not looking quite ourselves might have had something to do with this new and rather startling phenomena.
We were up bright and early in the morning to visit the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum .
The museum was an impressive and encouraging experience for the whole family.
This was an intruiging exhibit on the origin of the "races."
The Six Arrows smile in the face of a T-Rex.
Five of the Six Arrows and Mama spent an afternoon at the cabin on the lake with our good friend Ginny.
The girls enjoyed much of their time on the comfy porch in pleasant conversation or peering through a delightful historical fashion book.
The boys enjoyed the lake all day, swimming, boating and fishing.
Ben, the official boat man, acted as navigator.
Garrison was firm in his decision to stay on shore, a decision which he believed was "wisest." :)
Aubrey and Sam went along for the ride and fishing.
It was a beautiful day, even though there was a stiff breeze.
I think we all agree that this place is one of the most beautiful spots in the world and we are thankful we were blessed to spend a few restful hours there.
And he knows exactly what to do with that! 
Rasberries? MMMM! Doesn't he look like a serious connoisseur?
Sheep? Well, they loved him and let him get right up close to them. I think a human closer to their size was intriguing for them.
And like a true farmer at the end, he announced decidedly "Open door! Cake!" Having heard the plan to have desert there was no doubt in his mind that to go into the house and have cake was the next step. I believe we wore him out, but Ryan thoroughly enjoyed his visit to the farm.
A beautiful moon! The light around the moon almost looked red, white, and blue!
