Nebraska Part 2: Fun at the Farm!

As I mentioned earlier, we got to stay with Craig & Shelly who run the Weedin Farm~Brady was so impressed with Craig driving his combine I joked he started looking at him like he was Michael Jordan or something! :) It's awesome to see the workings of their 1600 acre corn & soybean farm & it truly is a beautiful place...the heart of the country! After this fun visit Brady may want to be a farmer someday! The only thing that was painfully absent was Great-Grandpa Weedin...we really missed him this visit.

THANK YOU again to Craig & Shelly for their hospitality~we had a great time.

Jeff said Brady was so excited about the whole deal he could have stayed in there with Craig all day!

What do you know??!! A stray ear of corn! :)

The next day we got to visit the neighbor's farm~they have goats, cows, chickens & (oddly) rabbits~the kids had fun at the "petting zoo." :) Unfortunately I missed catching the funniest moment when we caught the goats sneaking out to munch on some corn across the street...hilarious...they just ran by us & snuck right back into their pen & acted like they had done nothing wrong...strange animals.

Brady was in heaven~he was also loving his new John Deere hat that Chad & Michaela gave him!

This is "Hoss"~the Weedins miniature pony that they were feeding graham crackers

We got to meet little Libby who is cousin Erin's daughter~she is 18 months old & such a sweetie! It was so much fun to see Erin~it's been too long!

This bunny was GIANT...kind of creeped Mommy out...

Livvy slept through the whole animal visit...she'll catch it next time!

Jeff got to show Brady & I the basketball court in the barn that Grampy, Craig & Kay played on as kids...as well as the Weedin boys & also Jeff & Lez whenever they came during the summer~it's a huge court in the loft of the barn & you can still see where Grampy kept score!
