Sandbox was pretty full some days!
Everyone wanted tractor rides. Kenneth was nice and loaded everyone up.
Five kittens were born. The mother cat kept moving them, so everyday the kids hunted them out.
Grandma snitching milk from the tank!! Oh it is good and COLD straight from the tank.
Kaylynn "accidentally" fell in the mud!!
Alyssa learned to ride a two wheeler. Yeah - no more training wheels.
In the evenings, after milking, the cows would go to the pasture behind the house. The kids loved to stand in the driveway and watch them pass. They clapped and cheered. The best parade in Columbus!!
Bar B-Q chicken, slow cooked over coals = YUMMY!! Best meal of the trip. This brings back so many good memories. We used to have the branch picnic at the farm every year. My grandfather would build the bar-b-q pit and cook oodles of chicken for the branch. The chicken would marinate in the sauce and then baste it while cooking. We had some friends from the branch come one evening and reminsce about old times. Scott was in charge of cooking the chicken and it was just as good as I remember.
Most of the cousins (Grace & Katelyn are missing)
