Feeding the Cows with Grandpa Dan

Yesterday we went and visited my dad. We were able to help him feed his cows! My girls love doing this and, since Syd had was having a high blood sugar day, the extra energy exerted helped to bring her sugars back down. Also, we forgot to set the day and time on the camera so ignore the date! If it were actually 1/1/09, we would have been dressed in thermal gear instead of just winter coats. :-)

~The cows hear his pickup and start following him through the pasture...they want their food!


~On the last couple of bales of hay I would stick slabs down and let the girls kick them off the back of the pickup. **disclaimer: I do not recommend nor do I encourage letting children stand on the back of a moving pickup, no matter how slow it's driving--I just happen to be a semi-professional in this area, having grown up my whole life doing this. Plus, this is just how you feed cows when they are in the pasture. It's a good learning experience for the girls. :)**


~After feeding we went back and had dinner with my Grandma Ruth! Everyone loves Grandma Ruth! She's the best!!
