Work and play

What a great day.
Even though it is so COLD here!
We had a lot of fun today...working with Gramps and playing with Grandma and of course playing with STRIP!
The day started with Porter and Dad going to work with Gramps in the store.
The girls stayed at the house to entertain/exhaust Grandma.
Later on Brent made a run to town with Porter and Cassi.
Madi wanted to stay at the store with Grandpa, where she had a really good time just sitting and talking with him.
I think that is something they are always gonna remember.
Gramps sure had a fun time talking with her.
Then the goats needed to be fed.
Madi was a big helper with that too, and so was Porter.
And then there was a lot of playing in the snow.
The cold cold snow!
Then it was time to play with Strip.
We took her an apple, Elsie will tell you how much Strip loves apples.
I need to video tape when Elsie and Strip get together.
Strip is such a good horse...but he sure knows Elsie.
She will snuggle her nose up to her, and Elsie just loves on her.
It is so sweet.
Strip loves Elsie as much as Elsie loves Strip.
Kisses for Strip.
Feeding the goats
The goat feeding helpers

Feeding Strip her apple
Elsie petting her Strip
Porter ate the other half of Strips apple.
Funny story...Brent broke the apple in half for Strip.
Strip ate the one half and Porter wouldn't give up the other.
Then Brent picked Porter up and put him on Strip.
When he took them off Strip, Strip kept trying to get that apple form Porter.
Porter did not like that...AT ALL.
And he wasn't about to give up that apple.
So we put him on the other side of the fence so he could eat in peace.

So much fun! Looks like the kids have plenty to do and they love to help out! I love that Porter didn't want to share his apple with Strip! I love that kid!
