The first morning we were there, the kids played outside while we finished getting ready to head out to the farm. As I snapped this picture, I realized that Caedmon was drinking from the sippy cup of milk that we absolutely couldn't find the night before and finally gave up searching for - it had been conveniently stashed in the little basket in the back of the tricycle. The look on his face is a pretty accurate indicator of the condition of the milk - it was very sour!
Back to the farm, back to the tank, back to rock throwing. What more could a little boy want? This time he was not content with small stones and clods but heaved the largest rocks he could find into the water. The loud splashes were very satisfying for him, although it was unlikely that they improved the results of fishing attempts that day!
We also visited Uncle Alan to see his brand new baby donkey. Caedmon was quite the little rancher with his blue jeans, farm shoes, and cinched up grain cap. He was eager to track down that little donkey and thoroughly check it out!
He and Kayla marched right up to the mama donkey, Dixie Lou, and had a good time patting her head and feeding her oats. Her little one was a little more timid so they didn't get as close to him but were content to watch her and let her nibble oats out of their hands.
This duo also had a chance to help Papa feed the cows and calves off the back of his truck, which they both think is so much fun, and also feed the chickens. They were pretty much two peas in a pod the whole weekend and we're looking forward to our next chance for them to visit!
