Do you ever wonder where the better place to live is? Do you like the hustle and bustle of the city, the lights, the noise, the entertainment? Or do you prefer the slow pace, the relaxation, the quiet of the country? All I know is I haven't decided. I love being so close to Target, Wal-mart, Harmons, and (do I dare say) the mall. But at the same time, I go to the country and I love the wide spaces. I love being able to see as far as your eyes can see. I don't like the fact that it is always a competition in the city of who has their kids in the coolest preschool, or how many sports does your kid play, can you kids color in the lines yet? In the country no one cares. Kids can be kids and not be pressured into doing anything more than that. As you can see, we went on a trip to Faust, UT to visit Aunt Liz (Ben's sister) and Uncle Rick. Rick has been promising Ryan a Tractor ride. Ryan wasn't feeling very well, so he doesn't look so happy, but he really was excited to be on the tractor. Liz and Rick made hamburgers for us, they were delicious. Liz made a homemade BBQ sauce that they put on their hamburgers, I'll have to get the recipe and post it because I don't think I can ever eat another hamburger without that sauce on it!

Star, the horse (yep, that's not a cow).
We appreciate Liz and Rick having us out to their home, it was fun!

I agree. I LOVE the wide open spaces of the country and how easy going everyone can be. I grew up on a small farm, and I'm telling ya, I learned to work. Living in the city makes it more difficult to teach your children the true value of both work and play!
You're a great mom, Kel! Sometimes you just get busy with your kids and errands, with no time for a shower, but dang you feel productive! Sometimes I like days like that!
I totally understand what you are talking about after going to Tridell for the 4th! It is so nice not to have to worry about anything in the country and people don't they just relax and have fun! I loved being out in the country but I think it would be hard to live in it after living in the city all of my life. It is nice not having to drive an hour to the grocery store!!
