Down on Grandpa's Farm...

Finally, some sunshine!  We spent the day "Down on Grandpa's Farm!"  Gramps had prepared a nice fertile garden spot for us.  We planted potatoes and pumpkins!  That's it...perfect!  The kids are most excited to watch the pumpkin patch grow.  They learned all about watering with furrows.  It was beautiful out there!

Andy and Lane watched the sprinkler through the old cattle manger.


The Professional Farmer with his garden grew!


Madison kept that water flowing down the furrows!


Griff enjoyed the sunshine too!

After planting our crops we headed over to the pond to catch some FROGS!  
Check out Andy's "frog catching stretch!"  

The little buggers (frogs) were making so much noise....croaking and croaking.  As soon as we would start to walk they would quite down.  We had to sneak around the pond in order to hear where we might find one.  

Finally...success!  


Check out this face.  We have some sucker and dirt mixed together on those cheeks.  What a perfect little three year old!

It was so nice to see GREEN again!  


AJ went in for a frog catch.  His wellies helped.. but not that much! :)

We ended up with only 2 frogs in the bottle.  Good enough!  
Our day on Grandpa's farm proved to be a success.  Sunshine, dirt, water, mud, and frogs!

What an adorable post! Your family is too much.
I can't handle it. Couldn't be a cuter family.
