Tyler has a really good friend who has a small farm. He worked with her at the veterinary clinic. Just two weeks earlier she had a calf born. We thought this would be a great chance for Hannah to see one. So after we got done picking potatoes we headed over to Cindy's farm. She also has horses, dogs, chickens, cats, and a llama. Hannah could tell you the names of all the animals that she saw but not me.
Feeding the chickens.
Cindy went to get the food and the chickens knew she was doing this so they were all coming to the coupe. Hannah was afraid they were going to peck her legs so she was clinging on to Grandpas leg. It didn't take her long to get into throwing the grain out to the chickens. She had the entire can of food gone in no time . I think the first thing one must know when visiting a farm is to watch were you step. Unfortunately, Hannah didn't get that memo.
This little chicken was abandoned on the side of the road when it was very young. Her name is Snow White. Hannah was so brave to let her eat from her hand.
Hunting for eggs. This is better than Easter!
With every thing there was to do at Cindy's, Hannah's favorite was playing with the kitten Spaz.
Saturday we started out by going to Blackfoot to visit Grandma Miles. Then home so Hannah could take a nap. In the afternoon we went to Tony 's niece, Melissa Watson's wedding reception. She is Rita's daughter. We hurried home to change and then off to the Eastern Idaho State Fair. We parked at Grandma Miles and Tyler dropped us off at the gate. This was great since parking is such a nightmare. We began by looking at the animals, then straight to the food. Sooo many choices how does one decide? Of course the fair wouldn't be complete without going on the rides. Mike and Brianne wanted to try out the new ride called G-Force. Mike screamed like a girl, or so Brianne says. It looked terrifying to me.
Hannah rode on the faris wheel with us. It took a little convincing, but she liked it in the end. Brianne started out going on the rides with Hannah, but being the big girl that she is, she rode most of them on her own.
Hannah slid sown the slide many, many times. It was her favorite. Who knew a simple slippery slide could be so much fun.
After going on the rides we went to the bull riding. As much as Hannah loves rodeos, she didn't last to long before she got restless and wanted to go do more rides. So off to ride more rides we went and of course, eat more food! It was a late night almost midnight when we got home. (way past my bedtime)
On Sunday the wind was blowing especially hard and our apple tree was really loaded down with apples, the wind snapped it right in two. Tony, Mike, and Tyler picked all the apples off, but they weren't totally ripe yet. The wheelbarrow was full. Not sure what I'm going to do with them.
We had so much fun putting a puzzle together, playing Hand and Foot, lounging around visiting, and of course Hide and Seek with Hannah.
The time went by far to quickly. I love having my kids around. Love you all. Thanks for sharing the weekend us.

I'm sad I had to miss all the fun. It looks like you all had a great time! I miss you guys and love you very much!
Looks like a great time!! You're right, picking those potatoes doesn't look that fun, but the big sky and being with family makes any activity better. That's crazy you guys are moving to Columbus! I just looked up how far away it is...8 1/2 hr drive from here. That's not bad at all. We would love to take a road trip and come see you. When is the big move by the way? Looks like your family is doing great. Good luck with everything.
