A Visit from the Cox Family

January 2 brought a good time as we visited with the Cox Family. They arrived at Providence Prairie early in the afternoon and after we said our hellos and they settled in, we all gathered around the piano for a little A capella "barbershop style" singing. What fun! We laughed and sang and laughed some more. Laughter is such good medicine!

While it was still light outside we decided to traverse to the barnyard to take a short ride on Spanky Hank and Polly. After we had saddled up, several of us took a turn riding around the drive that encircles the barnyard.

Polly even did quite well, allowing us to sit for a spell. After eating, the Cox's brought all of the supplies to play Hand and Foot. Ryan shared with us his love for hot lemonade. We all enjoyed a mug of that as we conversed and played together for the rest of the evening. (mmm!)

Before we knew it the time had come to say goodbye as they had a drive ahead of them to return home. It had been a good day filled with fun. We feel blessed to have the friendship of the Cox's!
