Trip to Brown County

This weekend I had an entire day off work! I talked my dearest mother into visiting, and she came down Friday night. We didn't tell Marcella until Mom was in town, so she was really surprised! We went to the Farmer's Market, Dillman's Farm, Brown County State Park, Little Nashville, and Musgrave Orchard. Here's some pictures from the hike we took at the park:

That is my handknit sweater that Marcella is wearing:
