Fun at the Skinner Compound

Last week we took a drive out to a tiny town in between Columbia City and Warsaw, Indiana. Our very good friends, Jeremy and Missy Skinner bought about 20 acres or so in the country, and this was our first trip to see their new place. Wow, what a neat piece of property! They could be self sustainable for several months with the amount of food growing on their land. Their garden has every kind of vegetable you can think of and they also have cherry, peach, apple, and pear trees. It was awesome!

After a delicious dinner we were able to spend time with their kids, Cassie and Louis. They have gotten so big! Their property has walking trails throughout it, so Missy and I decided to take a walk. It was extremely peaceful and serene. Their two golden labs absolutely love having all of that space to explore and roam- it made me happy to see how excited and full of life they seemed. After our walk, Clint and I took a spin on their 4 wheeler. Everyone heard me screaming the whole time we were riding, lol. It was fun!! Kind of scary going down the hills and sharp turns. While we were gone the kids had fun getting excessively dirty playing in the sand box. Missy gave all three of them a bath before we left for home.

I see some fun camp-outs in the future!
