Favorites at the Farm!

"The Farm" is just a special place. That no matter how old we are, we have our good old favorite things at the farm. It was always a special place for Anna and I. Now so neat to see our children feeling that same feeling about what a special place it is.
Sharing the same favorite things with us!

You always have to walk out to the big wood fence to climb up and look out at the pasture! Sit up there, climb around, watch the cows in the pasture. Watch the sun rise, see the beautiful morning due on the pasture. There is just never a visit we don't love to do this! Above our sweet boys looking out over pasture. Below....Anna and I just like we were when we were their age!
Riding in the back of the truck and checking the cows has to be done! Here's Aunt Debbie and Eli getting ready to go check the cows! Pretty much everyone drops what they are doing and hops in the truck for cow checking time! Love it!!!
Jumping the hay bails such a favorite thing to do! The boys love it! Fun stuff!
Another favorite thing to do is to have a mission. Part of cousin bonding! We tend to find missions while we are there. Like hunt down old things abandoned in the woods, dig around in old farm buildings and find treasures...here we were searching for arrowheads. We found one! yay!
Sweet cousins! Eli got tired so Jake carried him!
Naps of course....after long days of playing on the farm!
Playing in the chicken coop! Can we say hours and hours of fun! Anna and I used to live to search and play in the chicken coop. These three boys absolutely LOVE the coop. Feeding the chickens, searching for eggs, and pretty much terrorizing them.
This chicken was wooed by the boys and allowed them to hold him......ALL the time! Poor little chicken!
Mischievous or what!?
Climbing on and in the farm equipment is just the BEST! They were so cute!
Checking out the cow's water trough. You have to be very careful climbing the wooden fence over to miss all the cow manure ....but coolest thing ever! Uncle Joe has always kept goldfish in the trough.
