I was invited to join an extended family on their farm near Metcalfe one afternoon and I have to say that it was one of my most favourite photo sessions ever.  More on that soon, but how could you go wrong with a family this adorable against a backdrop like this??<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/9514233674\/\" title=\"portrait of a large family outside on a farm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7454\/9514233674_60ff6f0b8a_z.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"photo of a happy family outside on a farm\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And then there was my visit to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kricklewoodfarm.com\/\">Kricklewood Farm<\/a>.

In addition to <a href=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/2013\/08\/17\/family-movie-night-under-the-stars\/\">using it as a movie screen<\/a>, we use it to exercise the dog.  Bella has decided that the swinging rope is a dog toy.  It&#8217;s pretty funny to watch her grab hold and yank, often swinging right off her feet!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/9452634839\/\" title=\"photo of a dog outside pulling on a rope\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5464\/9452634839_dace4b1c2c_z.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"428\" height=\"640\" alt=\"photo of a dog outside pulling on a rope\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another reason there was no photo post last week was because I was having too much fun with my visiting brother and his kids.
