The Farmall-H Arrives!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

My sweetheart gave me a beautiful red Farmall-H tractor.OK, so that is a bit unconventional, but I couldn’t be happier!

This tractor is going to be perfect for the picnic and play area on our interactive farm.

It has the greatest bouncy spring seat—so fun!

There’s plenty of engine work and cosmetics to attend to before spring, but we’ll be ready.

This tractor will join Eddie’s Ford 8N in the play area. We’ll post more pictures as we go through the restoring process.

Colby's Birthday Party

Whoopie Pie had his first birthday party adventure today! He was invited to Colby's 6th birthday party.


The party began with a short lesson about llamas.




After the kids had learned the proper way to meet a llama,
Whoopie came into the house for a visit.

Here's Hunter getting a llama kiss!








Then it was off for a walk around the neighborhood. Colby and his friends each took a turn walking Whoopie.

Ethan, a llama walking pro, takes a turn!

Isaiah seems to like me MUCH better
when I have a llama! Maybe I should
bring Whoopie to church on Sunday!


Derek is another great llama walker!

We even paid a visit to Colby's grandparents!

Whoopie Pie did the most interesting thing! After walking quietly for at least 20 minutes, he began humming frantically. We quickly realized he was upset because some of the boys had run ahead to play on the snowbanks. He definitely considered it his responsibility to keep an eye on the kids and settled right back down as soon as they came back near him.
Good job, Whoopie!

Then it was time to say goodbye and load back up into the van. The kids finished the party making felted bouncing balls and Whoopie was ready to head home to his friends. On the way we took advantage of a $5 special at the car wash. Whoopie LOVED the carwash and followed the spray around the car! He is most definitely a public relations llama!

Two Young Visitors to the Farm

We had some fun young visitors today. Nate and Gabe came with their friend, Pati, to check out the llamas.
These young gentlemen knew all about how to meet animal friends and the llamas rewarded them with lots of attention and llama kisses. They ended their visit by taking Mexia for a walk around the yard. We were all happy to enjoy the warmer weather!
