Farm Happenings

Catching the rooster!

Catching Carol!

Doesn't this cow look frightened? Guess he heard the 3 C's were in town!

First Casualty

The first day @ the Farm while Mommy and Grammy were still there, Claire took nasty tumble from her bike. OUCH!! A hard part of growing up....

Life on the Farm

Cami and Tookie drove Cooper, Carol, and Claire to New York to spend 3 weeks with Grandma & Grandpa Brayton @ the Farm. The kids are having a great time and learning "farm chores".

Zipping up. Don't be too jealous, but it's still cool in upstate NY.

Beautiful pasture

Mama Chick and her biddies. The girls are really enjoying watching the biddies hatch and grow and helping to care for them.

Ellie Mae getting water for her critters!

Fixing the hay trailer in anticipation of the harvest. Cooper says he getting muscles from his farm chores!

We Made It To The Farm!

After 2 days in the car, a little silliness was called for!

Sunday, June 7, 2009

To break up the 15 hour drive to NY, Cami and Company spent the night with cousin Jenny and her husband Pete and family in their home just outside of D.C. Nice to catch up and get some much needed rest. Thanks Vogls!

Nathan, Michael, Cooper, Claire, Carol, Ashley and Olivia.

Off to the Farm

Cami and Grammy (Tookie) left after church today to take the 3 C's to Grandma and Grandpa @ the Farm in NY. The children will stay for 3 weeks. We're hoping Grandpa teaches Cooper some good work skills planting hay on the farm! The girls are looking forward to hatching biddies and guineas and watching them grow. I'm sure they'll all have names soon! Pictures will be coming, Carol packed her camera. What a good summer time activity to spend time on the farm with family. Wish they were closer so we could see them more often! Derek and Beau will drive up @ the end of the month to retrieve them. G&G should be tired by then! Swimmin' Hole Lane will sure be quiet....
