A Day At The Farm

For my mom's birthday, she requested a day with me.  We both had Saturday free so we made plans to spend the day.   Shay and I got up and headed to Hemingford at 5:30 in the morning so we could make the most of the day.  We had talked about going up to Mt. Rushmore for the day but their harvestors showed up so we just spent the day relaxing on the farm.  
First came helping Grandma open her birthday presents.

Next came Shaylee's favorite activity of the day.  Rocking Goober the cat in the recliner, until he would get mad and run off, then she'd get mad.

Grandpa was really excited to see us and took us for a drive to look at all his wheat.

Grandpa said "I think I have some wheat over there, that would be over Shaylee's head!"   But, when we got there Shay wouldn't get back out, good thing because it obviously would have been over her head, we could barely see Derrik!

After our wheat drive we went to Alliance and got pizza!  Everyone was ready to eat.   Then we came back and checked on the combines and took a nap.  Well, we took a nap AFTER we had poppy seed birthday cake!

After a quick nap we ran into town so Shaylee could slide and swing and then Grandpa showed up again and took us for ICE CREAM! 

Derrik found he has just gotten TOO tall to thoroughly enjoy this anymore.

After ice cream grandma made us supper, yeah I know, we do things backwards.   By then it was almost 9 o'clock and we needed to get on the road for home.   We had a great day.   It is always fun to go to the farm but we just don't have to time to go as often as we used to.   It was a bonus that Derrik was there too, we don't get to see him as often either.
