"Farmer" Boys!

The boys had a big day Thursday! We went to spend the afternoon with Carrie, Tony and Eleanor at the farm...and man was it fun!!


Tony showed us all the cows and what it was like to be a farmer. We loved looking at the baby cows and Ben even got to help feed one! Baby cows drink milk just like we do so they can get big and strong. And when they are babies, they drink out of a BIG bottle! Ben thought this was pretty neat!! After the baby cows had their lunch, Ben got to ride one! He asked and asked...but when the time came he was a little scared...

After the cow ride we went for a hike with Carrie and Eleanor.
We got to walk through the pasture and down to the bottom of a very big hill. Carrie showed us where Hay Creek starts- see the water coming right out of the hill?!

After the hike it was back to the house to play after a bath.
Ben, Tommy and Eleanor played so nicely together!


We had a lot of fun... but man-oh-man...does farming tire you out!!!

  1. That was a fun day! Ton and I were still laughing about the "calf ride" in the morning :) We'll have to do it again soon!

  2. I love the comment (Ben) "Mom! I don't want to!" (Tony) "Oh sure you do!" Even though he didn't like the moment...its all he talks about... "I am a cowboy- I ride cows with Tony" HA!
