Fun Day at the Farm

Grandpa bought this awesome cart/tricycle toy many years ago and the grand kids are finally big enough to try it out.

It took them no time at all to the get the hang of it!
 

Hannah wasn't too sure about it and was content to let Grandpa hold her while she watched the boys.
Andrew giving Luke and Adam a quick lesson on how to drive.
The boys also discovered this freaky giant bug. Extra points if you can tell me what kind it is!
Update: My friend Lisa, found the answer to my question. A Cottonwood Borer is the answer and a I found lots of info on it when I Googled it. Sometimes the Internet is very helpful! And thank you Lisa for saving me search time!

Jonathan and Adam were accidental twinkies for the day.
Jonathan showing Adam some love.

Adam and Hannah were too small for the horse cart, but not for the wagon!
And then we discovered a frog and the horse cart was completely forgotten!

Hannah didn't understand why she couldn't turn the pages of the little kids' book.
 

What's better than one frog? TWO!
Then it was time for BIG rides.
 
Andrew prefers Grandpa's new four-wheeler. "It's faster!"


Even Hannah got a ride on the new 4-wheeler. She wasn't nearly as excited as the boys and refused to go near it without Grandma,
 

A couple weeks ago, we met the Nisly family at Carriage Crossing for breakfast. Verlin and Violet and family were in town to help with harvest so we got to see them too. Breakfast was a little chaotic and so sadly there are no pictures to document the giant table we filled and the yummy food we consumed.

After breakfast, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to play. Grandpa had bought a horse cart/tricycle many years ago in anticipation of the fun it would bring to the grandchildren. So much fun in fact, that Andrew declared we needed to take it home with us. We also had lots of rides on big machines and enjoyed a beautiful day in June, a rarity in Kansas! Oh, and we also tormented frogs. How those poor things survived the love they received that day, I have no idea!

I think it's a cottonwood borer beetle. :)

Lisa, you are the winner! I found a link with more info about the Cottonwood Borer: http://www.gpnc.org/cwoodborer.htm

I think we may have a science lesson this week!
