The Holmgren Farm

We had a fun family reunion in honor of my Grandpa Holmgren, this month would have been his 100th birthday. It was so fun to see my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins that I hadn't seen in quite a while. I have some good memories of this place. This is where my mom grew up. I know I had a great childhood, but my mom had a fairy tale childhood! I don't think she spent many hours inside. She has a deep love of horses that started when she was at least 3 years old. I love seeing the pictures of her when she was a little girl on horses, I hope someday I can have a girl that looks just like her! That love of horses has been passed on to my boys, especially Taylor! We all had so much fun at the farm and the kids were able to have a glipse of what Grandma lived like growing up.

This was the real attraction for a lot of the kids, Corbin especially loved swinging up really high.

The next attraction was the paddle boat. I love this pond, it is so beautiful. Who would have thought that such messy faces could be so adorable!!! What cute buddies!
