This Labor Day was truly one of relaxation for our family (for the most part) which was a nice change of pace. We spent the morning playing outside with squirt guns and then took a walk to the farm just down the road to see the baby calves. We tend to just invite ourselves down to the farm to look at and pet all the animals. Adam and I both grew up on farms and just the smells and the sounds bring back so many great memories for us both. We love to see the kids with the animals and experiencing the farm if only for a short while. We both look forward to going home to Grandpa Carter's and Grandma Ann's farm this coming week...Lindson in particular (he loves to "help" grandpa with chores). Both he and Sierra are in love with seeing and petting animals and love getting dirty so the farm seems to be the perfect place to make both of those things happen. I can just hear the grandpa's now..."time to get you a herd a cattle"...or something like that.
Lindson told us he was "taking a shower"...funny part is that he wasn't screaming during this one like his nightly showers...huh.
Sierra enjoying her time in the green chair...
Lindson posing...right before aiming and getting us wet (he's quite precise with that little gun).
Lindson loving trying to pick up the half-rabid cat with only 1 ear and missing hair...and nearly getting his face clawed off in the process...great.
And this was the other more sickly cat that was sneezing, coughing, and wheezing...yep, right in Lindson's mouth...great.
Sierra and I checking out the farm...and yes, I'm still in my pajamas (I was post-call...ugh).
The stare-down...
Tickle, tickle...
Pretty sure that Sierra is licking off calf *&$% from the fencing...nice.
Sierra and Lindson discovered that they could give themselves a drink with their squirt guns...
More showers...
Mommy tickling Sierra with her hair...she was squealing like usual!
Trying to get away...she's a mover and a shaker.
Three-quarters of the family...and of course, Lindson is hiding behind the squirt gun. Oh well.
Hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing Labor Day as well!

Really all of those germs are opportunities for them to build their immunity, right? Cute pictures! I wish we lived out in the country with farm animals just a short walk away!
