Within minutes of our arrival, we found a tiny FROG.
Aunt Gladys provided a magnifying glass and a jar to keep from squishing the poor critter. 
Uncle Bookie gave us binoculars to spy more animals....
A bale of hay was set out and soon afterwards, the local DEER came to feed.... 7 altogether. They were close enough to touch.
By nightfall, the RACCOON arrived to steal cat food. The kids were mesmerized for an hour watching him eat with his "human like" hands.
The wildest animals we saw were our own kids... but with the easy nature of my aunt and uncle, they had the freedom to run around and expolore.
Uncle Bookie gave them TRACTOR RIDES.
Older kids got to drive!
Older kids got to drive!We visited a national park with a gorgeous original COVERED BRIDGE.
The kids found a working water pump too.
Jonas helped Aunt Lisa get some water.
Aunt Gladys is the hostess with the mostess and a fabulous cook. On the last day, she made cupcakes for the kids to frost.... YUM!
One thing we learned on this trip... feeding the wild animals keeps them happy!
Thank you Uncle Bookie and Aunt Gladys for an amazing weekend we will never forget.
