So we made another trip to visit our families this past week. Our trip started off in Evanston...where there is always something fun and exciting to do. I remember when Brent and I started dating and he would take me to visit his family we would always have something fun to do. ALWAYS! When I would get back I would have my family and co-workers always asking me what I got to do this time. A few examples are...de-feathering turkeys, putting up fence, docking the sheep, cutting Chester's toenails...poor little guy...he is a tiny little pony...but hates his nails clipped!!! Well, it's no different now. Now we have the girls to help. This time they had to give antibiotics to the goats. The girls got to man the gates while Brent and his brother gave the medicine to the goats. The girls did a great job. And Brent got pretty bruised up by those goats and their horns!
And Elsie was a good little girl and had fun watching all the action
The girls were a big help at the feed store too. I had to add this picture of them in the truck, well, cause it is cute...but also, Tanger, our dog was in the truck with them right before this picture until he decided he didn't like it...dumb dog jumped out while the truck was moving! He was fine...but he did get tumbled around a lot and got a bloody lip...maybe he will learn.
Elsie got some great practice on all kinds of terrain with her walker. She has gotten so good at getting around! She puts a smile on every one's face!
And the girls get spoiled by Grandma all the time and she gives fun little toys and stuff to them. They are enjoying making plastic bubbles in these pictures. They were a big hit.
Then back to work. I was taking a nap while the girls helped Brent trim down all the lilac bushes, so I don't have picts of that...but they also trimmed up these bushes from around the garage. They did that all by themselves, and did a great job too!
Just a cute shot of Elsie and Tanger walking down the lane.
Catching grasshoppers
The girls were also helpful, as much as they could be, to help dad make new steps for Grandmas porch. But before he got to make the steps he had to fight some bees and bee-hive with a blow-torch in the bush right next to the porch. He said it was pretty cool how fast the hive burned up.
We love to visit Grandma and Grandpa! We always have so much fun!

So much fun! It's so good for the kids to be able to get away from normal life and get down and dirty with the farm chores. So fun you get to do that. Love the bubble pictures.
What a blast! Poor Tanger, hopefully he learned his lesson! I love the plastic bubbles, and the girls are such good helpers they deserve the fun!
I am not sure I would describe that list of things you have done as "fun" but it looked like a good first part of your trip.
Glad you are back and had yet another great trip with family. Looks like so much fun.
How fun! You guys always have so much fun together! Cute Cute Cute family!
So much fun. I am not sure about de-feathering anything though. lol. I did work on a dairy farm when I was going to college, that was quite the experience. lol.
I love that you're teaching them hard work and how to reap the rewards! So CUTE that they worked so dilligently!
