Our Haycation: Part VI {Last couple days on the farm}

Boy!  It's only taken me forever to get through all of this!  We had a great last couple of days on the farm.  The cousins just love being together and had so much fun playing.  Aunt Rachel brought Uno, the card game, with her from home and it was really a favorite indoor activity for the kids.
Here are the last pictures:
Kate woke up pretty early one morning (who am I fooling!  She woke up early most every day!  This day we just got out) and we went for a walk outside with Grandma, Sam (the dog), and Roxanne (the cat) (the only ones who were awake).  I love misty mornings on the farm.
Watching what we lovingly call the 'cow parade' with Grandma.  The cows are headed to their pasture after morning milking at the barn.


Kate exploring with the animals
 
Love that misty road!


What are you looking at, Mom?

Kate and her furry friends

He loves me. . .

He loves me not. . .

The pond through the mist
 I love the flowers of Spring on the farm:

Daisy- look closely and you can see the dew

Poppy with a horse fly visitor

Gorgeous pink peony getting ready to burst forth!

Delicate little pansies

The heifers by the pond in front of the house.  Kate loves to see the cows.  She moos with excitement!

Emma reading to her siblings and cousins.
Kate loving corn on the cob!

Daddy and Grant tilling Grandma's garden plot.

Love that old chicken barn!

Here they come!
 
Grant loves being with Dad- especially on a tractor!

The kids did plenty of running and bike riding.

Grant helping Isaac ride the bike.  These 2 had fun together this year!

Arianna, Emma and Lydia riding down Larchar Rd. together.

Kate torturing the cat again.  She's got right ahold of that tail!

Love those heifers in front of the house and near the pond.  (There is a fence, don't worry)

Kate excited about something!  I lover her face in this one.  Kenneth in his farm clothes.  This is how he looked when I fell in love with him (dreamy look in my eye).
S'mores on our last night there.  Caleb built the fire- thanks, Caleb.

Grant enjoying his s'more.

Bitty enjoying her cookie- I left out the marshmallow, too messy for her!

The last cow parade we saw

Posing by the tractor one last time- thumbs up!

One last tractor ride (Kate, too!) before we hop in the car to start the drive back home.
The tractor is attached to the mower.
There they go!
We had a marvelous 'haycation'.  I am so thankful for Kenneth's family and they love they share with us.  I am thankful for their farm and that we can come visit.  'Til next year!!
