Hay Day

Smart phones are awesome, I'll update the blog while waiting for this train to pass...

Whoa, check that out, a fan tagged this rail car (if that was you Mom, spell out the URL so we'll get more page views).

On to farming.  We spent the day with another farm family learning hay.

Caleb and Calvin have found comfortable farm boy poses. TJ had a pose malfunction.

Blaises' pose is a little more sophisticated.

Gloves would have been nice.  I asked Calvin to clean out the van before we left and he cleaned out the van - even the pairs of gloves I had set aside. One time I asked Trins to remove tools from the van before a trip to AR and she removed the tools - even the ones that came with the van, the ones that allow you to change a flat tire. I didn't realize it until... I had to change a flat tire in AR!

This cat smells fresh.  (Sammy: "Do cawts poop each odder out like goawts?")

Babysitting cows for friends is awesome, they mow the lawn and we can drink their milk (Sammy: "Dats wight, fwesh mik fo my sippy cup.")

A fun and interesting place to get stuck (A little more on this pic: this was taken in the AM but we got stuck the night before around 11pm on Sunday.  I had to check the animals but I wanted company and Tonya was in her PJs ready for bed but I talked her into going along (Tonya: "I'll just wait in the van in my comfy PJs while he's checking, what's the worst thing that could happen?")  The walk back to bed was at least a mile long, no kidding.  (Thinking back about what that was like makes me laugh as I write this, don't tell Tonya).

At the farmer's market.  These two did extremely well answering questions and selling product, I was impressed.
