After the farm...

So the field trip to the farm wasn't the only adventure I got to have with Zack while I was home...

I got to watch my little all-star play some serious baseball =)

Just look at that face...told you this was serious, ha!

But before we could play ball, we had to have a new pair of "special" batting gloves (for confidence, of course ;)

And Zack asked me to label them with an "R" and an "L" - too cute!

He aims for the fence...


He rounds first...


He slides into home...

...it was a home run, a grand slam!

Way to go #9 - love you with all of my heart!!

And how lucky am I to get to ride home in the backseat with these two all-stars?? We played rock-paper-scissors the entire way home =)

Sweet Jakeob and Zack

And silly Jakeob and Zack....


And there was one more adventure that I got to have...in fact, I loved this adventure so much I had to do it four times...

Sno-balls with cream! Authentic, true blue sno-balls...not "sno-cones" or "shaved ice" - the real deal...yum!! And yes, out of the six days I was home, I had a sno-ball on four of them =

But after all of my southern adventures, I sure was happy to come home to this handsome guy...

...and I think he was pretty happy to see me, too. =)

Down on the Farm

On Friday, my favorite kindergartener in the whole wide world asked me to go on a little field trip with him to a dairy farm just outside our hometown of Poplarville, Mississippi. I couldn't resist his request and so we spent the day down on the farm.



Isn't he precious? How could I possibly say no??


But before we saw any cows, this guy was there to greet us as we parked...

My Dad told me it was definitely a Black Racer (or Black Runner) and will both chase and attack, yikes! This was the last we saw of him.

We went on to do some farm exploring...

This adorable little calf was born that very morning, aww....


Then we went on a tour and saw the equipment used for pasteurizing the milk and learned a little about the process.


That's alot of milk!


Got to witness the milking of a cow...

We learned that each cow is good for about 5 gallons of milk each day...wow!

They loved watching the farmer milk the cow...can't you tell?


Got to pet and feed a calf, how sweet...


And then we got to visit the little store and bring home some treats, made right there on the farm.


I love this silly fella! So glad I got to spend a day at the farm with him =)
