On The Farm With Tyler
What a wonderful weekend!
Weather wise... perfect.
High 50's.
Spring arrived.
Saturday, the wash dried on the line.
Saturday night... fresh, clean sheets that smelled like Spring!
Perfect.
The icing on the cake was a special sleepover.
Jenn, Tyler's mommy called us Saturday and said she was bringing Tyler up for a sleepover.
On the agenda: farm breakfast, farm fun, and a play date with the baby goats.
Tyler has had the fun of meeting baby goats every year since his birth.
This year was the best.
He held them tenderly,
played with them,
kissed them,
and laughed and laughed at their quick little movements.
Goatie kisses sent him into paroxysms of giggling.
It was quite magical!
We stopped for a quick visit with one of Dr. Becky's horses, Ava.
Towering way above Tyler... Ava dipped her nose down to check him out.
We took the Nigerian Dwarf goats for a walk (mayhem).
The rest of the day was filled with ball games with Sam and Oakley.
I am sure that both Oakley and Tyler would have continued this game for hours!
"Okey's back!" Tyler said.
He is getting pretty good with his colors...
(translation: Oakley's black!)
Sam, as you can see, has his own unique game that he plays while Oakley chases the ball.
(Not sure what that game is called!)
Tyler loves riding on the farm equipment with "Muppy".
He enthusiastically helped pick up branches while Tim pruned the apple trees.
He takes his jobs quite seriously.
Taking feed to the pigs is another favorite task.
We got oodles and oodles of outside work done this weekend.
Hopefully this warm weather will stick around a while...
I've got so much more to do!
