Down At The Farm

As soon as the snows melted enough, we decided to take our belated trip to visit the Grandparents.  The portable DVD player really helped to make the drive a lot less stressful this time.    Grandma had her entire Christmas village out for the girls to enjoy.   We had a belated Christmas gift exchange (loving my new bread maker!), and Grandma made the girls an adorable matching set of pajamas.  

 

A few weeks ago, my parents had come home from church to find a surprise in their field: a new baby calf!  They didn’t even know their cow was pregnant, and neither did the people who sold her to them.  Eva enjoyed watching them graze through the window. 

 

We tried carrying her outside to see them, but they went to the far side of the property, so Dave took her to see the new turkeys instead.  It’s tough for an active 3-year-old to have to wait for someone to carry her around, but her 33lbs can get hard on the old back, too.  Looks like we’ll be using the double stroller quite a bit in the next month.
