A wonderful time in a farm...

In a weekend in later October we went to Sérgio’s (Quico's brother) home to celebrate his birthday. He and his family live in a farm near a small town (Encruzilhada do Sul) in the country side of Rio Grande do Sul.

On the way to the farm we stopped by a wheat field to take a picture. It was an old dream of mine…to be in a gold wheat field!

The farm is a wonderful place, very beautiful and full of peace as you can see in these pictures.

The children (Alice, Luciana, Maria Luisa and another Alice (MLuisa’s friend)) played a lot and had lots of fun.

They rode horses…

They played and swam in the dam…

They fished some fish… lots of them!!! Unfortunately we didn’t eat them…just put back into the dam.


Here is a hot air balloon that Quico had bought in the US. It is lifted by solar heat. This is an adult toy!!!

The weekend was marvelous and we all had a good, relaxing and fun time together!

Golden wheat kisses,
Marina

  1. Well, I wish I spent a weekend like yours, riding horses, deck diving, experimenting with baloons and enjoying the rural sights. I envy you for the summer you're having over there.
    Best wishes for the Schroeder family from the snow-whitened Virginia!
