Three days in Nelson

Mommy, Cailin and Drew just got back from visiting Oma's house. Oma is out in Washington DC visiting her newest grandchild, Michael Matthew, so the three of us went to house sit, dog sit and chicken sit.
Daddy was supposed to go to, but at the last minute, duty called, and with a new install at work keeping him here in the cities, the three of us went down for a few days.
I was very busy trying to keep up with two kids and keeping the house running, so we did not get any pictures of the three days in Nelson.
It is a different way of life in the country. No one locks their doors, people are very helpful and nice and there is still a 'mercantile' in Wabashsa. Wierd. Kind of a switch from the cities (or as John says 'inside the beltway'.)
We enjoyed ourselves. Cailin was a bit timid with the chickens, she preferred to watch out the window instead of going out to help. She did love the dogs though. She was very careful to be gentle and quiet when around them. They weren't too sure of what to do with her though. I don't think they are used to a loud, busy two year old.
Drew did pretty well too - he was intriqued by all the activity and loved being the center of attention.
All in all, it was a good time. We're home now, and all pretty tired, but settled back in.
