Time Out on Weston Farm

I’d reached the point of exhaustion with way too many things crammed into an already hectic schedule.  So, we decided to call a time out for our family and head to my BFF’s farm in Weston this weekend.  Ahhhh bliss.  Restful.  Quiet.  Calm.

The kids swam, ran across acres of land, swung on the tire swing, played dress up.

 

I walked calm, rock lined paths.  Met the neighbor cows.  Watched chickens wander. 

We ate delicious food… home smoked (all day) brisket, baked beans, macaroni and cheese (gourmet, four cheese mac!)  We chatted over coffee and delicious homemade crepes for breakfast.  And enjoyed margaritas by the pool (some seriously good, easy to make margaritas – I’ll have to share the recipe.)

We adults sat and watched a bonfire and viewed the stars.  Just sat, without jumping up and running after kids - they remained occupied with more important adventures and no electronics!  Delightful!

Check out my BFF’s blog where she is documenting their change from suburban Dallas living to living on a farm.  She’s brilliant and crafty and her husband is oh so (so, so, so) handy!
