Our Little Farm Gal

Our gal loves to be at Grandma and Grandpa's farm and fits right in with cutting firewood, climbing all over rolled hay, playing in the dirt, taking long walks in the vast fields, and her very favorite - Gator rides! As I packed her clothes prior to our trip to Florida, the very first thing she asked was "Can Grandpa give me a Gator ride when we get there?" During our week visit, I think she rode on the Gator nearly everyday and probably would have gone more often if she could have!

One day, I gave her a Gator ride and took her to the far end of the runway to see if the coyotes who lived on the other side of the fence were still there. We didn't see them, but she immediately "needed" to climb on the rolled hay and convinced Grandpa to take her back several times. She became really good at climbing from roll to roll. She also loved riding on the tractor with her Papa one day when Grandpa and Papa decided to cut firewood from a dead tree on the property. She, of course, was right in the middle of it all helping as much as she could.

After Meeting on Sunday, her cousin Amelia and she slipped out to play outside and we found them walking hand in hand in the middle of the field across from the house. They were both talking away perfectly happy to be enjoying the day together.

With Grandpa on the Gator - her favorite place to be!

It's never too early to head to the hanger in one's pjs and get a Gator ride...


and Grandpa is always willing to give one!
