Day at Grandpa's farm

Before we left Utah we took the kids to watch my Grandpa work on his farm. It was a neat morning! The kids watched him bail some hay and then they had fun watching the prairie dogs in the field. There were mounds everywhere and it's against the law to kill them. Ugh. They are quite the pain on the farm. Here are some cute pictures from the day! (Brandon stayed in the car playing his Gameboy--stinker)

You can see the little guys poking up around the field. We walked closer and they all disappeared. It was quite fun to watch them.Grandpa and my cousin Jackson.

Oh, I just think that is such a wonderful memory. What amazing pictures, too! I love it. While Grace was throwing up on our way out here, we were stopped on the side of the road and Jane was watching the prairie dogs. So, at least one person was having a good time at that moment.

That will be something the girls will remember. I love watching the prairie dogs, but I can't imagine what a pain they'd be on a farm. Glad you had a chance to build so many neat memories for your family!
