Can I take a vacation now that my vacation is over!

Well we made it home! It was a long rainy drive back to Idaho Falls from Vale and I am ready for the sun to shine for longer than 5 minutes please! We all had a great vacation in Oregon including my dogs! I didn't stick them in the kennel with the other dogs this time so they had free rein of the entire farm. They were in heaven! Though I do hope that they will learn to not walk under the horses next time! They both got kicked and thankfully it was by the colt or they would have been really hurt if not dead.

All 5 of the kids got to get dirty doing some farm work! Derek went along with his cousin Hawk do help out on all of the chores. I think he enjoyed working in the hay fields alot more than feeding the pigs! His cousin Kelly taught him the basics of driving so he could help out! I just hope he realizes that he still has to wait til he is 16 to drive here!

Caitlyn loved feeding the new calf with her cousin Maddy. The little kids named her Angel! She is adorable as can be and will be a very sweet cow when she gets grown! Caitlyn will be sad that she will be too big to hand feed when we visit the next time! She didn't understand why the puppies and kitties were so big either! I told her that all things grow even her!

While waiting for Cammie to saddle the horses for the kids to ride I told the horses in the pasture to stand pretty for a picture and this is what I got!! They listen better than my kids do! The one in the middle decided that we were going to be the best of friends and he would follow along the pasture fence anytime I went outside and if I went up to the fence he would nuzzle up to me. Quite the accomplishment since he wouldn't let anyone near him for the longest time! Maybe it is a sign that farm life is in my future!

Well the vacation was great and I am glad we went but I am also glad to be home and back to what I am used to! The kids are already asking when we can go back! I want to try and make it sometime this fall if it all works out well! Maybe by then they will be ready for us to decend on them again!! I need at least that long to rest after this vacation! I never knew a vacation could be so dang tiring!!
