The Farm is Boring or Additional Post Regarding "My kid can sleep anywhere."

So we went to the farm this past weekend, for those of you who don't know, two years ago my sister and brother in law bought an old farm house with 195 acres of land (part of which is farmed by someone). They don't live there, my sister is a decorator and she wanted something to completely redo and boy did this house need it. My brother in law wanted a place to ride dirt bikes, quads, fish, etc. etc. The house was built in 1853 and I will post some pics of what it looked like when we started on it.


This is the house when it was first bought.

This is the lane heading to the road. It's really long!

This is one of the bedrooms....plaster walls, abestos, the whole 9 yards

This is another bedroom (there are 3 total)

This is Tori standing on the back porch overlooking the garden

There is now an acre pond where this field is

This is the "bunk room". The ceilings are so tall that my husband built 3 bunk beds, 3 beds high for all the kids to crash in here. We decorated it in a camo/hunting theme. The walls were in such bad shape that we covered them with painters tarp and laced them up so it looks like your in a tent. Turned out pretty cool.

This is the kitchen when it was ALMOST finished

I plan on taking more picture this weekend. We are going to Cleveland for the Kenny Chesney concert then up to the farm on Sunday for the night since Monday is a holiday. I'm going to take some after pics because lots of stuff is done now. I'm working on a scrapbook for my sister of the farm from the beginning until now.

Now for the title of my post.......Tim took Myah on a Gator ride around the property, there are all kinds of trails to go on. He came back about 20 minutes and hollered at me to come out and look at her. This is what I saw......
