Galloway Farm

The boys and I spent a cold, windy day at the farm today just being boys and being outside. Making fires, playing with the animals, normal Saturday stuff.
The boys were using their new walkie talkies and started picking up another kid somewhere else. Lots of questions back and forth with “Ben”. “Where do you live?” Ben said. My son Hubbard quickly replied “I can’t tell you that punk!” I made him apologize to the boy on the other end of a walkie talkie. The conversation between about six boys went on till I hear one of mine say “His daddy is bringing him here!” I didn’t really believe it of course.
But about ten minutes later, sure enough here came three boys and a dad walking down toward the barn! Long story short, the boys spent the next two hours playing football and wresting with my boys. Mike, the dad, and I became fast friends and have a lot in common. We both have a bunch of kids, home school, live 3.5 miles apart and like being outside! I guess you never know where new friends will pop up, but I sure didn’t expect them to come through my kid’s walkie talkies!
