Grandpa was Officially Stuck!

Last Saturday when we were working the calves, Grandpa momentarily forgot that he is an old dude and climbed up on the fence in the corrals. Well, he found himself STUCK and let me tell ya that it took him a little while to figure his way back down! We were giggling at his predictament but he was flat out laughing at himself. It was a pretty funny site to see. What the brain won't accept as the body gets old.......(Notice that no one is coming to his aid! Poor guy. We were so busy laughing that we didn't think to go help him! Grandpa kept us laughing by saying things like we needed to call the power company and have them bring the big truck with the cherry buckets to get him down. He's quite the character!)

Baby Calves

We were in Ioka this weekend to paint the little house and had to feed the cows for Grandpa Dale while he went out of town for the day. There are sooooooo many new calves this year. I took some pics while driving the hay truck with Dad and John in the back throwing hay bales out in the field for the cows to eat. If you ask Dad, he says I was driving in supersonic speed but really I was in low gear and taking pics as slowly as I could! The calves were running through the field like kids do at lunch recess at school! My camera couldn't focus fast enough to catch all their shinanigans! I thought about slamming on the brakes a time or two to catch some cute calf antics but decided against it. Only because I didn't think I would survive the drive home with John and Dad covered in cow poop from being thrown out of the truck bed into the large piles of poop in the field. Anyway, thought the kiddos would enjoy seeing some of the calves. A couple of the calves have to be bottle fed since their mommas won't feed them. John fed one and I fed the other. They wolf those bottles down in a heartbeat of time! They were so cute.
