Our Day on the Farm

Despite the off-and-on-again rain showers today, we had an afternoon filled with animals of all sorts.  (We even got to see our little friend, Riley, during a quick stop to Aunt Deb's garage sale.)  But, the big event of the day was our visit to the Stothard farm in Coleman.  Grace and I had never been before and we were both very excited.

Ashley, the mom, is a woman of many talents.  She sews, she quilts, she makes homemade everything, including goat's milk soaps that are amazing.  She home-schools their four children, all of whom are amazingly sweet and well-behaved.  It was a fantastic visit with a fantastic family. 

Grace loved holding the guinea pigs

Not at all sure about the goats...

Baaa!

Clinging to Granny for dear life

This one cracks me up...

Granny thought it was pretty funny too.

The goats enjoyed chasing the ducks..


"Aflaaaaaac!"

Those crazy kids!

The ducklings were so tiny and adorable!

Cute...sure, but Grace still wasn't having it.

Even this fluffy Lionhead rabbit could get no love from Grace.

Guess she's a city-girl after all...

  2. Dave's parents go to church with them. Sharron is very close with their family.

    We thoroughly enjoyed seeing you, Gracie and Grandma Sharon at the garage sale. And Riley, especially loved seeing Gracie. Thanks for stopping in to help Riley learn to socialize with little people. Aunt Deb
