Farm time, part 3

Well, a trip to Holstein isn't complete unless we visit the farm!! Ethan and papa have a pig for the Clay Co. Fair named Chester. Lots of phone conversations have occurred with Ethan checking on Chester's progress. So, Sunday papa took him out of the barn and Ethan walked him around on the grass! This was Luke and Drew's big farm debut as well!!
Let's walk them papa!
I got Chester nice and close to you Drew!

Then off to the cattle barn...
Let's feed them...
Get me closer...
There we go, got right in there!
Where is Luke??
Sleeping his way through the farm tour!
Of course we couldn't leave without driving in the feeder tractor!
Feeding them with papa. 
The Merrill's look good in a tractor cab!

Off to check the corn fields...
Children of the corn!
The farm gang. Luke is pointing outwards as he had the biggest blowout on record! Surrounded by pigs and cattle I think he was just trying to fit in, sleep and poop!
Daddy telling everyone everything we ever wanted to know about this corn. 

Farm tours with papa are always eventful, once again it was. 
It was a great weekend and then we all piled back in like a clown car and headed back to Mankato. Stopped in Okoboji for a pit stop at Barefoot bar for one last drink. It was great having the Merrill's join us in our travels and was of course hard to say good-bye to them!!
