The Farm


Today, we all headed out to The Farm. My grandparent's farm that is. Levi's parents live on an actual farm and his dad is an actual farmer. But I will always consider this my grandparents farm a "farm." No crops are actually grown here, but there are cows so that probably counts for something. Boy, do my sister, my cousins, and myself have some great great memories of going to The Farm. We have countless forts scattered all over the 80 acres. There is even a Radio Flyer wagon still lurking in one of the forts! Our boys are getting older now that they can start exploring the farm, and boy, did they loved it as much as we did!! Gigi has lots of fun treasures at her house that the boys just adore! And Old Papa has cows!! So the boys love being there!! Some of the cows are about to have babies, so we went to check them all out. Wyatt was probably the most excited- he stood at the fence and waved and "moooo-ed" the entire time. The bigger boys were more fascinated with skidding their shoes on the rock road. I know as they boys get older, they will start venturing off into the woods making their own forts, finding cool "treasures" (I remember finding an old jar of Dippity-Doo hair gel and thought it was the coolest thing!), seeing if there really are rattlesnakes in the barn or if Old Papa just wants to keep the kids out, and maybe- just maybe- they will actually find the long lost Radio Flyer. Oh, the exciting memories to come!!!
