Farm Fun!

So the kids piano teacher also has a little mini farm with cows, pigs - including baby pigs, a donkey and some goats. The kids just loved seeing the baby pigs and chasing after them. They were so small that they could sneak through the fence that was surrounding there momma and escape. At the end of the summer there was a corm patch that was fun for the kids to chase the pigs though. The kids were absolutely fascinated with the baby pigs. 

I have no desire however to recreate that experience for our family. So grateful that we have friends that help us to experience things that we couldn't on our own. 

Road Construction in Front of Our House

So first of all Bristol lost her first tooth and she is so excited about that. The tooth fairy came and gave her the going rate of $1.00 for her tooth. 

Our road was all re-done. We got to see all of the stages. Tearing it up, smoothing it out, adding leveling dirt/sand, dumping asphalt into the machine that leveled it and then the crew rolling it and making sure that it was all complete. 

Hailey thought that it was pretty cool that they added sand and then flattened or leveled the road in preparation for putting the asphalt on. She also thought that is was really cool how they put the asphalt on and how quickly it dried. 

Bristol thought that it was pretty cool to watch the tractor that leveled the ground. It also shook our house and was very powerful. 

Stetson says it was a regular road construction site and that was both cool and annoying!
