Exploring a new trail 3/24/2011

So I told you there were a couple of roads by our house and we walked along one but not very far because it was windy and Elise was walking so we decided to try another road with her in the backpack so we could go a bit faster and farther.

 We actually walked into town to the bank first so this is a view from the bottom road just after we left town. That is the hill we live on. If you look close you can see a crane in the picture. That marks our house. The older son is building a house on the farm and they always have these cranes when doing construction. So it makes it easy for us to find home when we are out.

 My family as we were walking down the road. We took the bottom road that headed to the South of us and made a big look around through some of the small towns around us just to see the countryside. Our loop took us about an hour and a half.

 Pictures along the way!

 Pictures along the way!

 Nice, big flat fields to farm. Anybody jealous? I can think of a couple of individuals specifically.

 More pictures along the way!

 I thought it was very pretty how the church sits up on a hill and just kind of jumps out at you as you come close to town. This is the same church that I took a picture of on our Sunday walk only then it was from a lot farther away.

We still haven't figured out what these stands are for completely and we keep forgetting to ask. They are all around on the edges of fields. We guess that they are for watching for vermin to keep them out of their fields. We think Blake needs to build one. It would be a good job for Peter and just think of all the trouble it would keep him out of :).
