Wood Weekend

This weekend we went to Clearbrook, MN to Derek's Uncle Kenny and Janine's house. Every October they get together for Wood Weekend. The boys help Kenny cut wood for the winter, and they kids get to play on the farm.

Joey fell in love with "tom" cat, and now wants 2 kitties instead of 2 dogs..

Much of the weekend was spent riding on the 4 wheeler and gator. here is joey with uncle darren, hailey and cousin sam (who is 4).

hailey was a very good driver!

Derek's cousin Judd found a dead cow when he went out hunting one morning. of course everyone had go on the gator and see it. they said she was an old cow, and died of old age.

Kenny and Janine bought an old farmhouse and totally renovated and fixed it up. It is absolutely beautiful!! The kitchen floor is from an old barn.

Riding on the 4 wheeler with Auntie Steph.

Those are cows. He has about 16. I must say i was nervous on the gator, because the cows start coming towards you because they think you have feed.

Such a gorgeous weekend.

The whole point of the weekend...cutting firewood.

The afternoon Saturday job was vaccinating the cows. Thankfully I didn't have to help with that. I was getting kids lunch and down for naps. I'm pretty sure Derek wants to be a farmer now.

Joey's kitty.

Uncle Kenny hooked up the trailer to his Farm haul tractor and we all got to go for a hay ride, except that Joey and I got to take a ride before everyone else!

running on the hay bales. joey was having a blast!

everyone in front of the ol barn, which will eventually be taken down, because the floor is rotting. so sad, because it is so beatiful.

And of course a quick stop on the way home to see paul and the blue ox
