A Day at the Farm

Last year we went to my Papaw's farm for Thanksgiving and since then Isabelle has been talking about how she wants to go back. We finally made the arrangements and all headed out to Papaw's farm for an overnight adventure. Funny thing about the farm is there are no animals, it is more like a deer lease =) Never the less Isabelle still has a great time, and does not give up her endless battle to look for animals anyways.

When we got there part of the house had been overtaken by mud dobbers so we spent the first hour or so trying to kill all of the bugs. Now I remember why I don't live in the country, BUGS! I need an exterminator within a 5 mile radius of my house, I can't stand bugs. Ewww! After the massacre Daniel and Hunter took Isabelle and my newphew Conner fishing. Conner gave us this long story about how it was going to take a least an hour to catch a fish, but within 5 minutes he was at the door with his prize catch. I tried to get a picture of him with it but he was deathly terrified to stand anywhere close to it.

One of Isabelle's favorite things to do on the farm is to ride around in the mule. Dave and I took her out for a ride and she decided that we could not go back to the farm until we saw an animal. When asked what anumal she wanted to find she replied, "a kangaroo". Really, why don't we look for dolphins while we are out here to. After riding until the sun was about to go down she gave up that idea and finally let us head back to the farm.

Sunday morning when we got up Conner was asking Papaw to take him hunting. There is really nothing to hunt this time of the year, but that didn't stop Papaw. He loaded both of the kids on the mule, handed them bee bee guns and headed out to look for COW? LOL.. Conner got a kick out of it, and I assure you that no cows were hurt during this trip.


One of Isabelle's favorite things about being on the farm is that she can get dirty, and boy did she ever get dirty. She was covered from head to toe in dirt from crawling under one the picnic tables. Love that girl!
