Gracie & Braxton at PaPa's and Lois's Farm

We went to the farm on Saturday while the kids were down for Easter, Lois didn't get to go which was a bummer. We took the golf cart to the farm and Gracie has named the cart Camo Kirby. Papa just has to camouflage it now. We didn't get any pictures of us riding on it at the farm but it did a great job. Mike (son-in-law) was impressed with it. Did get a picture of us riding on it at the house before we took it over. As you can see the kids enjoyed riding on it.
We also had a wiener roast, which meant we had to have a fire, which we didn't get any pictures of but as you will see in the following pictures, that Braxton had a ball playing in the remains of the old fires.
Gracie even got into the action of playing in the charcoal remains . Gracie even enjoyed the girl's porta potty that we have set up inside the barn.
We next went fishing, which was quite an event. Gracie has turned into a very good fisherman. Of course with her Uncle Brady teaching her how to fish we should have known that. She had help at the farm with her first two fish and then she caught the next 12 fish all by herself, one of which was a bass. Her brother Braxton, with help from his mom caught 2 and then her mom caught several more fish. Her mom also caught the biggest fish which was a 15" crappie. I caught one fish and Mike had several strikes on a lure but ended up catching a tree. It was a nice one!! Sorry Mike.

This is what the farm is all about, we have had so much fun with our grand kids and kids at the farm this last year and this year, we can't begin to tell you. We can't wait for all of them to visit more.
All the trees we planted 2 weeks ago are doing fine, got more pictures from the game camera so you will need to go there to see them, I believe we had 130 pictures this time.
