The Farm

In Chicago, really in Big Rock, or maybe in Aurora, I have heard it located in all these places, there is a farm that holds the key to all our 4 Wheeling Fun. The farm is Gwinn Oaks Farm and we call the 4 wheeler THE RED DEVIL, and maybe all red four wheelers are called that, I don't know, but that's just what I've always known it as. We have such a great time riding on it. If you can believe it I will tell you that our entire family, that's Big Daddy, me and all 3 kids can ride on The Red Devil. There have been some precarious situations with all of us on there but it is such a bonding experience, let me share some pictures :

We always take pictures of the trees, the walnut trees, when we go out there. This helps us to see just how much they have grown over the years. These are some of the Walnut Trees that have been growing about 12 years. They started as little seedlings so really they have grown very quickly, and that's what makes them special, that they grow so fast.

This was 2007/2008 as you can tell by Big Daddys armful.

There is also this Oak tree by the barn that is the biggest tree I have ever seen outside of the giant Sequoias. It is bigger than the barn which is like a small airplane hanger.

This is a view from the road of how big this tree really is. It creates a shadow on the barn.

These are some grapes that grow on the farm. I'm not sure why they were actually planted in the first place but they seem to continue to thrive, especially when no one actually does anything with them.

Oh this sits on the wall in the trailer. It is a caribou that Rob shot sometime before he started dating me.

This is only the tip of the iceberg for talking about the farm.
