Farm Girl

This weekend we went to my Dad & Cindy's house for Cindy's birthday.

All the kids love going to Papa & Grandma Cindy's house - they have a lot of room to roam! Olivia was so excited to see the horses - as she always is. But Papa & Grandma had a big surprise for the kids. They bought a John Deere Gator for the kids. Julia was the first driver and she did so good right away! Of course, she really liked it when Kurt put it in the faster gear - but after a few close calls, Papa turned it back into the low gear.

Jimmy & Olivia enjoyed riding in the back!
Olivia moved to the front - and Jimmy loved having the back to himself!

Jimmy still having a great time in the back!

Olivia's turn to drive - she was very timid and would only push the petal a little bit at a time - it was like watching a 16 year old drive a stick for the first time - very painful....but funny!
Notice Julia bracing herself!

The other kids must have given up on riding while Olivia figured it out. :)


Jimmy moved to the ride on tractor while Julia pulled him around!

The bigger girls were waiting for their turn...and Olivia was trying to drive away.




Jimmy trying to ride the little tractor with Olivia. Olivia contemplating her near miss - Papa grabbed Olivia just before Julia ran the gator into the chair that Liv was standing behind. Never a dull moment!

The girls were being silly


The girls love Papa's chex mix. He knows how to bait his grandkids!
I said that this picture looks like cute innocence - Kate said it's just tired! :)
Look - Liv standing on a couch - wonder where she learned that?!?! Liv chatting with Papa!
