Summer 2009 Memories: A Tour through our Dear Friends' Property

Editor's Note: My sisters, Emily and Annie Hope, will share about several simple, sweet pleasures during this trip in the next several posts. Emily penned this first one.
In September, we were blessed with the opportunity to visit some dear friends. On the morning following our arrival, two of their sons gave us a tour of their family's acreage. These precious children took us on a trek up hills, through woods, and over creeks and lovingly showed us their forts, bridges and animals. Below are some pictures of our wonderful time.
