Old Time Farming and Fishing

This weekend my Uncle Keith was having some draft horses do some “work” on his farm so the kids and I  grabbed Grammie and Grandpa and went on a road trip to Odessa (Ryan was at the Dental conference so he missed it)
We planned to do a little fishing on our way home so the day started with Grandpa electrocuting some worms.


It didn’t take long for the kids to get into grabbing the worms as they came up.

It turned out a little Schafer family reunion and I got to see a lot of family that I hadn’t seen in awhile. In fact, the best part of the day for me was getting to catch up with my cousins Scott and Kate who I hadn’t seen in years!
Delaney instantly found Lydia and made friends with her cousin Sally, and spent the rest of morning running around with the big girls! 

It was a beautiful day and we got to watch the teams plow a section of field. I could have watched the horses all day but my kids felt the need to explore.

They played by the pond

and did a little roadside farming


And didn’t stop moving for a second

After lunch they were exhausted- this little girl took a quick snooze on Grandpa’s shoulder.

After milkshakes at the drive-in we tried out luck fishing.

Nothing was biting though so fishing quickly turned into throwing rocks in the pond.

We gave up quickly then headed home. The kids slept the entire way home.
It was such a fun day!
