Meet AppleJack, Sunshine and Blue Daisy

Growing up, we had a few horses during my younger years, dogs and a few ducks.  My parents have grandchildren and now they get the farm, literally!  Well, not yet, but it is getting closer.  About a month ago, my dad got two heifers less than 6 months old.  Blake and Jack named them before they got them.  Blue Daisy is the all black and Sunshine has the white face.  They are getting more used to people and LOVE feeding time.

  

Yesterday, they got a Shetland Pony.  He is about 9 years old and has a pretty good demeanor.  The 5 crazy kids haven't scared him too much.  He is about 37 inches tall and is very cute.

Kate sat for a minute and was over it.  You can see her "get me off this thing" face in the picture.  Jack didn't ride him at first, but with the promise of being able to feed AppleJack a treat, Jack tried it.  

The farm is fun.  The kids can play, help out Papa and learn about the animals.  I am glad they will have these opportunities.

I have always wanted a pot-bellied pig.  Maybe I can tell my parents Jack really wants one.  We'll see what my dad brings home next.
