Down on Grandpa's Farm





Last weekend we went to my Granny and Grandpa's farm. This is one of my kids favorite places to go. They think this old house is just the coolest! This is a picture of the front.



And the back.




Grandpa is 84 and still bales his own hay. He even puts it up in the barn. This year he did hire two teenagers to help him, but he worked just as hard as they did!



I always thought that grandpa looked like the Marlboro man. I need to get a closeup of him!






Lacy's favorite part is driving the truck up and down the rows while Manly Man loads the trailor.





See Manly Man work. It almost killed him!

Doesn't Little Man look bored and hot in the back of the truck. He soon jumps out and heads straight to the pond to cool off.



The best part of the whole day for the kids was swimming in the pond called 'the tank', with Goldie, Grandpa's dog.


Doesn't Little Man look like he could be in The Jungle Book!






Granny and Little Man showing off their grasshoppers!

Little Man ended the day with a climb in a pine tree that my brother took to my grandparents farm 24 years ago and planted for them. It is a great climbing tree.
