A Day Trip to the Farm

Our very good friend Cheryl invited Granny, Alex and I to her farm for a visit.  Cows?  Horses?  Big open fields?  Once Alex heard, he couldn’t wait to go.  Mom’s cousin Cathy decided to join us for the day.



I never knew hay bales could be so much fun!  We spent a lot of time carefully inspecting them, and then climbed up to see the view from the top.





Alex affectionately referred to them as the “three grannies”

















Of course the highlight of our visit for Alex was the ride in the ATV out to the neighboring pasture to see the cows.  And bulls.  And calves.























Once he learned the Mexican hat dance, there was no stopping him!






The hole at the bottom of the steps was even more fun than the mud hole in our backyard!








It was a beautiful day to spend outdoors, in wide open spaces.  

Little boys, dirt, bugs and plenty of sunshine make a picture perfect combination of laughter and joy.  It did us both good to get away from the city and enjoy time with friends and nature.
