Collin and Canines: A Perfect Day to Feed the Cows

The farm is grilling hamburgers on the porch, kicking back with family, and relaxing in the country.

Pam - "Do you think the smell of burning hamburgers drove the cows away?"

The farm is playing on toys - go-carts & dirt bikes

Nika after hitting a cow pattie on the go-cart, "Poop was raining down from the sky."

The farm is bundling up for stroller rides with cousins -

Grandpa Brownie - "He needs a jacket." (echoes from my childhood)

Off they go -

The farm is one spot where there is enough reception to catch bits and pieces of the Notre Dame game on iPhones -

The farm is pensive & calm, staring off into the muddy lake -

The farm is posing for pictures with minnows -

And touching your first fish -

The farm is cousins hanging out & cow skulls as yarn holders -

The farm is Advil bottles as rattles (child-proof cap firmly in place) -

Collin, wide-eyed, wasn't going to turn his back on these beasts-

As we drove to the farm on Saturday morning it was cold and drizzly. Grandpa Brownie was trying to convince us to turn around and go to a family movie. But as we neared, blue skies appeared and we were gifted with a beautiful, sunny, cool fall day.

Grammy Lesa as she sat in the sun at the farm which holds such wonderful family memories, holding her grandson in her lap, "This is just perfection."

We're pretty sure Grandpa Brownie was glad he didn't stay home and watch a movie.

Drool is cool -

A change of clothes led to another photo op - on Grandpa Brownie's shoulders with his caboose on display -

The biggest excitement of the farm outing happened soon after we arrived. Kyle posing for a picture. Before -

Re-enactment:

Since we were able to re-enact the event, you can see everyone was fine. The gears of the dirt bike were accidentally changed to first, so when it was turned on, Kyle popped a wheelie and headed straight for Lesa. It was wild! My mom's first question once she saw that Kyle was okay: "Did anyone get a photo?"
