At the Farm...

On June 3rd, the boys and I went to the farm to go strawberry picking. They had a great time hanging out with the animals, climbing the haystack and running in the fields. The actual strawberry picking wasn't such a hit because we had to walk far in the heat. On the way out to the field, I put them in a cart and pulled them but while we were picking the berries, someone took our cart and they had to walk back, complaining the whole time. Who would think that, with his limited vocabulary, Micah would find so many ways to complain about being hot and tired? When he sees the pictures, Caleb doesn't refer to that day as the day we went strawberry picking. He says, "Hey, that's the day someone took our wagon!"

They kind of liked picking the strawberries, but wanted to eat them all on the spot. I don't blame them but it wasn't too much fun watching the two of them constantly to make sure they didn't put them in their mouths. It's much harder than you'd think because they are little, were wearing hats and were bending down to pick them. Unless I laid down on the ground face up, there was no way to really see if their little jaws were moving or not!

Checking out the cows. I think he told the cow joke about 7-8 times while we were standing there.
Caleb: What does a cow do for fun?
Me: I don't know.
Caleb: Go to the MOO-vies!!! HAHAHAHAHA

This was either a mule or a donkey.
Anyone know how to tell the difference??

Horse and Sheep. Micah was all over it with the "neigh" and "baa". He was a pro at it by the time we left.

Chickens. I didn't really answer any detailed questions about these chickens verses the things that appear on his plate in nugget form. I was very vague about the whole thing but I have a feeling Caleb is on to me.

It looks like they are cooperating, but they are probably fighting over a rock or something.

In the cart on the way to the strawberry fields. I'd like to get my hands on the jerk who stole our cart while we were picking!!

See...you tell me, is he eating a strawberry or not? No way to know.

Classic...two little boys running down a dirt road! Doesn't it look like we live in the country??

The big haystack. Caleb didn't want to climb to the top. He didn't think he could do it but he kept trying and eventually made it to the top. I was so proud of him.
