We all took turns riding the three golf carts around the farm. I had forgotten how peaceful and relaxing golf cart rides can be :) 
We all had our turns with the rifles and skeet shooter. I would just like it to be known that on my turn they launched two skeet simultaneously and I hit them both. Sharp shooter!
Christian tried to convince Brooke to ride with him on the dirt bike, but she preferred the stability of the four wheelers. 
Our first order of business Saturday was to watch a walnut cracker in action. We all had jobs picking out the bad nuts or loading them into the cracker. 
Brooke enjoyed the monotony of the sorting job on the belt. Brendon was able to handle touching the walnuts for a surprisingly long amount of time before his allergies kicked in.
What was most impressive was that this cracker was built by my dad's mechanic as a fun hobby.
My mom loved having all the babies around! 
We ended up cracking and processing enough for all of us to take five ziploc bags full of walnuts home. We are quick workers!
We also saw the small persimmon orchard and ate some from the bin. Most of us had never tried persimmons before. 
Brooke had a blast smashing all the rotten kiwis underfoot. 
Eva and Jorgen obliged us by holding up their kiwis every time we asked them for pictures. Behind them is what kiwi vines in a kiwi orchard look like. We loaded up on our year supply of kiwis while we were there. 
Some of the ladies took a quick trip up to my mom's dance studio to do a little tap dancing. Emily and I tried to remember our maxi-ford turns. Eva enjoyed prancing around in her new sequined costume.
We had a bonfire and made hot dogs and s'mores for dinner.
CB decided that a pitchfork worked much better than wire hangers. Ha.
We had such a great time. Thanks to our friends for coming along!
