A day on the farm!

Wednesday we met Shanna in Burlington and headed to Yates Center to visit Shanna's parents' farm.  They had a lot of "firsts" and even Mom learned a few things (one might have been that driving 20 mph on a gravel road is a "city folk" trait!).  Shanna's dad and brother sacrificed an afternoon of work to show us around and welcomed the hundreds of questions we had (Did you know a horse is pregnant for 11 months?).

Lexi got a warm egg fresh from the hen house, we rode in a semi truck, picked corn and soybeans, were weighed on a cattle scale, and met two pregnant horses and more pregnant cattle than we could count.  The #1 thing on their list, though... petting the farm dogs and seeing the dead armadillo in the front yard!

The chicken was less than pleased to be caught!

Including "both Henrys"!
