Abby is obsessed with cows and Jake with tractors. They yell them out every time we see them in the car (which is often believe it or not, even up here in the metroplex). So, when we went to my parents for Christmas, we made it a point to take the kids down to our family farm. John loaded the carseats up in my dad's truck and away they went. The cows know my dad's truck so they immediately ran up to the pens and waited for him to feed them. John worked on getting the kids out of the car seats and then turned them loose. Abby immediately ran up to the pen yelling "COW!" at the top of her lungs. She terrified the cows and they all went running. My dad told John to take the kids behind the truck so the cows couldn't see them and he got them all back in the pen. He closed the pen and Abby and Jake then went up to the fence to see the cows. I'm not sure if they had more fun seeing the cows up close or climbing the fence, but they had a blast.
While they were down there, my dad ran the tractor a bit too. The kids were in the pen and my dad was circling the pen with the tractor. Jake kept "chasing" the tractor hoping for a ride. However, it was getting late and time to go so we'll have to save the tractor ride for another visit.
