So here are the favorite pics of the boys at the farm. It was the most touching moment of my week when Corey said to me after removing his blindfold and seeing all the animals at first glimpse, "this is better than Six Flags!" He had just been to Six Flags with his friends the day before he came to our house. He told us he rode every single ride there. I have a lump in my throat when I think about the fact that a 10 year old would consider a day on a farm with grandparents is better than a day at Six Flags with his friends. Yeah, I know I am sappy sentimental, and times like this make it so worth it all!
Corey and "Rusty"
Chad and "Dolly" llama made fast friends with each other. "Dolly" let Chad hold a cookie and gently took it right from his mouth without touching Chad's body at all. Don't worry you moms reading this, the farm owner showed him how to do it!
The baby goat feeding was absolutely everyone's favorite. Please note the baby bottle up close too :) (an Auburn baby bottle). He was just too cute and followed us around everywhere, even under the horses while riding.
"Bucky" was his name but really the horse that Chad rode should have been called that! So with that said you've probably guessed what happened. Chad's horse (actually it was a big pony) named "Spirit" bucked him off once but not without a challenge. Chad held on like a rodeo champ til he could hold no more hanging off from the saddle side! He fell about 2 feet from the side of the saddle to the ground and the owner was right there to rescue him from any further danger. Chad got up and immediately got right back on. Yea!
Meanwhile Lolli is on the fence having an " overly concerned grandmother fit". And no pictures were taken of this due to the surprise of it all. Looking back on it now, I think Chad kind of jerked the horse to a frustration point but really and truly the boys thought it (falling off) was the coolest thing that happened that day:) Chad could not hardly wait to tell the family about it but we made him promise to keep it secret til after the girls had their turn here.
Corey really liked "Stormy" the smallest pony they had. "Stormy" was born in April during a storm:)
