Have you ever eaten a Bison Burger?

I've driven by this buffalo farmer thousands of times and always wanted to stop by. You know how it is... you are in a hurry to get to your parent's house for sunday dinner and you tell the kids "someday". Well, the day arrived.

Hi Fred... can I pet you?


madeline and jacob wanted to pet the bison.
how do you pet a bison ?

1. call the bison... here freddy, freddy
2. put some hay out for them to eat... come here freddy
3. ask to crawl in the fence

4. mother finally convinces them that they are big burley animals that want to be left alone.
5. sad children who don't have a bison to pet.

My kids are rednecks!

Okay, here is something you probably didn't know about me. .. my kids are rednecks. It happens when you are raised on a farm and your kids go and visit your parents who live on a farm.

Like the outhouse, did you notice it in the picture behind Jacob. That is for him... the kid will find a tree, bush, or just dirt if he didn't plan enough time to make it to the bathroom. Although, my parents live in a cute cottage with only 1 bathroom does create a little craziness.

Okay, back to the redneck story. We found my brother, Jason's, old BB gun. I remember using it to shot random things around the farm. Well, Jacob is loving this fun. He will shot the fence post or a tin can. Jacob wanted to see Grandpa Owen's skills so.... Jacob throws a old zuccini in the sky high and far away from his cute body and Grandpa shots it. At least Jacob thinks he shots it because when it hits the ground Jacob exclaims "Grandpa, you shot it to smithereens!!!!" well, i don't know where smithereens is but the zucinni just gets beat up from hitting the ground. It is the funniest thing, my dad and I almost need to use the outhouse because we are laughing so hard.
