Land of the Poppies...

For Cases' 2nd birthday, Papa Udon and Kim Grama, as Case calls her came down for the day and we had so much fun! We started with burgers for lunch and then spent the afternoon cruising around the hills behind our farm.

We found some beautiful poppies, Case thought they smelled good.

Kim and I were taking loads of pictures, so Case decided to pose for a few
