Dilan goes to the Farm!

Last weekend our family went up to the farm in Osakis, with Dilan, the German student. She's leaving already in a couple days..that time went by so fast! She's been so busy that we've barely had any time with her, so it was really nice to have her up at the farm. We drove up Saturday afternoon, after Dilan and Laura got back from Chicago. It was pretty chilly out but Joey made a fire and we sat outside for awhile. Dilan was not thrilled by the bugs..there were a lot of labybugs inside the house, it must be a bad time of the year for the bugs..they were ALL OVER.




Sunday morning Caleb was thrilled to run around outside for HOURS. He loves the farm ("yarm" in Caleb-speak)...all day Saturday before we left he kept saying "I want to go to the YARM!" He had a blast riding on the tractor, following the guys around outside, playing with "Ti Steph"...as long as he was outside he was happy.




Sunday afternoon we all went to my aunt and uncle's dairy farm. Dilan got to see a 'real American' farm, with the barn and cows and everything. Caleb had a blast there. We went inside the barn, saw some baby cows and even got to ride out into the pasture to see a newborn calf. It was a fun experience for those of us not used to farm life!! My cousin's wife and their son, Landon, were at the farm too, so we got to watch Caleb and Landon run around..they were cute together.
