Maine Trip

We went to Maine for a few days to visit my Dad, the kids just love going to Grampy's since it's basically a big field trip.  He boards horses, keeps sheep, chickens and geese.. and drives loads of tractors and big trucks!  They rise at the crack of dawn so they can get the chance to help him feed the horses.  Unfortunately for everyone it rained all but about 3 hours that we were there so we were stuck inside most of the visit, but at least that meant Grampy could visit with us more and not have to go to work!  Although rain meant no bobcat either which the boys were quite distraught over.  Every 5 minutes Caden would ask him "So Grampy.. is it time to go to work?"

I hadn't taken my camera out even once the whole time we were there... until finally, a few hours before we left the rain stopped and we got a chance to get outside!

The horses couldn't wait to get out.. they don't like being inside for rain either.



Cora was ready with hay!


They all had to have their turn giving them a snack



Treasure!  Cora got to collect an egg from the coop.

Cora thought for sure the chicken would want to eat from her as well.



She offered it a flower, but still no love.


Sheep time!  The sheep had babies!  So there were 5 or so baby lambs.  Grampy chased them down to catch one for the kids to hold.. who knew they were so quick!





Attempt at a group picture.. but Mr. Uncooperative had arrived.


.. and after force.. Cora was missing!
