Home Sweet Home

We were able to go back to New York this summer and I just loved it.  It has been three years since I was back at the farm and I was quite home sick.  All of my siblings were there and we were able to be together for a week.  The cousins had a great time playing together and it was just WONDERFUL to be home.

Daily rides to get the cows for milking and to follow them to the pasture after milking.

It rained, and rained and the kids loved the puddles!!

Jumping on the bales of hay.

All the kids helped at the barn. Opening the doors to let the cows in, milking and cleaning up afterwards.  There were several water fights, which were never allowed when we were kids, but grandkids are different.

There were two calves born and Josylnn loved to go see them and pet them.

Grandpa had a treasure hunt for us to go on.  Here we are receiving instructions at the start.  We went all over the farm to find the clues.  Very fun activity.
