Unfortunate circumstances brought about a quick trip to IL last week. Rick’s Grandpa passed away this week, so we left Thur-Mon. to IL to be with the family. I will blog about what a great man he was in another post. For now I am posting some photos of our kids playing in snow for the first time. The Hammitt’s own a 265 acre farm in a small town in IL. Its always such a treat to visit the farm & usually its in the summer. I have not yet been in the winter, nor had the children. There is plenty to do even in the cold. Here are a few shots, I have plenty more I will post after Christmas. This was the warm day, in the lower 20′s. The day of the funeral (Sun) brought about 20 below temps, colder than I have ever been in, in my life. Burrr!!
