My Favorite Place

Ashton Idaho

My grandma Larsen grew up in this cute farm house, and now her and my grandpa live there in the summers. It is one of my favorite places. We stopped by on the way to island park and had the greatest time eating, looking at the birds, playing with cousins who were also visiting, and admiring my grandpas huge garden.

A part of me wishes I grew up on a farm. I love to be outside, get dirty, wake up early, and work hard. Most of my friends who did grow up on a farm tell me I would not really like it, but I still think I would love to live on a farm in a small town like Ashton.

I love Jaxon in this picture. The kids were a mess (what's new?) but they loved every second of it!

Grandpa gave the kids rides around the property and garden. They were in heaven!

That does look like a kids' heaven!

Yes, I agree with your farming friends. YOu wouldn't like it as much as you think you might!

my father in law asked me where i would live if money were not an issue. i'm sure he thought i would pick somewhere tropical or in a big fancy house. i told him i would live in a big white house on a farm, with a wrap around porch, a swing, with a corn field, farm animals, and such. doesn't it just sounds lovely?

Yes indeed, there is definitely something about letting your children run wild in the country and learning good hard work on a farm. I think you would have probably loved growing up on a farm because you are so optimistic about life, no matter where you are, you are happy!
Love you!

I LOVED growing up on a farm! There were always animals to feed, dirt hills to climb, places to explore. After visiting NYC this last week, I would NEVER want to live in a big city like that! Bring on the farm!

Wow, if you weren't already married with 3 kids Josh would totally propose to you after reading this farm-lovin' post. Good thing for me you're already taken! :>
