Farm Life

Both boys want to be farmers when they grow up, so Glenn and Tani's is a great place for them to visit. They get to see a whole plethora of farm animals, ride four-wheelers, pick berries, shuck freshly picked corn, and they even have a pool! Glenn and Tani's is always full of cousins to play with and animals to feed. It's a wonderful place and they are such kind and generous hosts. The boys and I often spend the day out there (it's about an hour away) when Ben is out of town for business. We're very thankful for them and their support in our lives! We've gone out there a few times this summer and here are some pictures from our experiences:

We got to see a calf that was just a few hours old!
 It was so soft and sweet!
 The boys' swimming skills have grown so much throughout the summer. They can even swim across the pool now!
And they even learned to dive!
These pictures are Sam. He enjoys it more than Seth (Seth doesn't like to get water in his nose)
 Josh, on the other hand, just puts on the swim gear
 And is sometimes coerced into getting in
 But most the time just chills outside the pool; here he's pictured with cousin Selah
Glenn with Seth and cousin Judah  
Tani and Glenn and even kind enough to let all the kids into the hot tub. They might want to sanitize it after this group:
 How many kids can fit on a four-wheeler? All the big kids were riding with Tani, and Josh disappeared. I looked around and finally found him on the four-wheeler as well. I was so surprised that he went right up to the four-wheeler and got on Tani's lap all on his own!
 We got to see newborn bunnies. They were smaller than the palm of the boys' hands!
 Hot dog dinner with cousins and Glenn and Tani 
 Homemade raspberry ice cream that they helped make, with berries they picked!
 Contently hanging out and wrestling in the yard with cousin Judah
 Cousin Melita's boxer dog had puppies and we got to see them when they were only five weeks old! 
(Seth, Sam)
 It was such a precious experience.  
 No: I did not take one home.
 Josh was a bit unsure of the experience
 Especially when the puppy started nursing his neck. "I'm outta here," is the caption for this photo.
 Ending the evening by feeding the cows
 We are so blessed!
