So Much To Do!!

We have been very busy the past week or so. I've tried to upload photos, but it just isn't working. So, dear friends, when this trip is over, there will be thousands of posts to read, all with photos.

Here are a few things we've done that I'll expand upon later:

• Introduced Payge to farm animals.
• Zachary helping Grandpa T. prepare the farm for morning.
• Payge feeding calves for the first time (with those huge baby bottles that are the same size as she is!)
• The kids meeting Grandma & Grandpa Browning's new dog (a white boxer--who is still a pup but is taller than my kids) named Yeager-Meister. Yes, like the drink.
• The twin calves each sucking on one of Payge's hands. She was a little weirded out.
• Letting the calves use Zac's fingers as pacifiers while they waited their turn for their bottles.
• Water fights with cousins.
• Teasing all my teenage nieces about their "teen droppings" (ie. the ipods and cell phones we found all over Gma&Gpa Browning's house before the water fight)
• Visiting with old neighbors, and letting them meet my children (so fun!).
• The girls helping with yardwork by riding the lawnmower with Gpa Browning.
• Taking Yeager-Meister on a run with me, and finding that this huge dog is afraid of cattle.
• Payge singing EIEIO every time she sees an animal.
