This afternoon Danny and the children and I went up to my parents farm in Sedalia, to try out Maddie and Dan Dan's new four wheeler. I asked my sisters, Dawn and Dolly, to keep Margaux for us and we spent about 5 hours just riding around having so much fun. It is so pretty out there. So clear! So much fresh air! We love it.
We went over little creeks and drove over cow patties. We drove right into a heard of cattle (slightly intimidating), and even came upon a mommy cow about to give birth, totally incredible! I think we wore the children out. Both Maddie and Harry Jack were asleep as soon as we got back in the truck to drive back to Lynchburg.
Here are some pictures from our day.
Harry Jack did GREAT! He rode with me all afternoon. We thought he would get tired after an hour or so, but he didn't. He kept right on going.
The fearless riders. Maddie and Danny took turns riding their new four wheeler. Next year at this time Margaux will be able to ride with us, so "we just have to get another four wheeler" so she can ride with either me or Danny and we can all venture out together.
Maddie and Dan Dan had fun with this picture. They asked Danny to tell them where to put their arms so it would look like they were resting their arms on the mountain.
This is the mommy cow we drove up on. Bless her heart, she was having a time birthing this calf. My dad told us that she had been sitting under this tree for a couple of days, waiting and waiting to give birth. It was really a site to see. When we came up on her she was lying down. We watched her for about 15 minutes. Finally she awkwardly and slowly got up and tried to walk around a little. We decided to keep riding and come back and check on her later.........
......and this is how we found her one hour later. Still pregnant. Still waiting to give birth.
