my brother's farm

My brother has become a farmer in his extra time. So while we were there we had to go and get a lesson on animals and feeding. The first stop was gathering eggs. David couldn't believe that chickens could have brown eggs. I guess we need to buy some fresh eggs more often.

Emily and Garrett had to show us their chickens and how to catch them. They were amazing. Garrett was so nice to teach Allison how to pet the chicken and hold it. David wasn't so excited about the talons. "They keep scratching me."






David thought Uncle Rico was amazing as he mixed a huge bucket of milk for the calves. He even used a cool drill to mix it.

Those calves sure drink milk fast.

We then went out to feed the big cows. But we had to find them first.

Here they come.

Allison tried feeding the goats out of her hand. She wasn't too scared. David was mad they wouldn't eat his one piece of corn.

The kids found a fun toy to crawl through. Farms are the greatest.

Attempting to pet the goat, but Allison had to stay close to dad. We loved the farm. Thanks for letting us come Jeff and Jodi.
