Happy Birthday Jesse


Our little man turns 24 today! Yeah! We had a school tour today, and this was how he looked as all the kids sang him Happy Birthday. I haven't finished with my Holland pictures, but seeing as we mentioned school tours, I'll share a few pics that we have of those. This was the group that came today. So far we have had 300 kids, with 220 more in the next 2 weeks.


Here they are feeding a calf in the calf barn.


Here are the 3 pigs. I can't get over how much they have grown in 3 weeks.


Then down to the lower barn, to see the sheep and Willard. And of course Buddy the bunny.Then up to the hay mow.



After the hay mow, we check out the manure pit. I wasn't watching as careful as I should have this morning, and one young fellow almost jumped in.The poor teacher nearly had a stroke.


The kids like to see the milk truck. And some milk truck drivers like to see the kids. This may or may not be one of them.


Abby is on a short leash, but she will get lots of attention.


After the milk truck leaves, we milk a cow for them.


Then donuts and chocolate milk (and a few white milk). We could hardly get the straws in fast enough with this bunch. And anyone who comes up the driveway gets to help.


Emma goat didn't attack the kids the way Billy did.


Tommy lent us his horse Banner for the horse back rides this year. Great horse. And he came with his friend Jenny the donkey.


The Highlanders watch as we give the rides.


And Carrie has found a horse that she isn't afraid to ride.


At the end of the day, Jesse had his cake. Here is "The Blow"
