Wagon Ho!

Every little farm kid needs a red wagon.  When Nathan was a baby, we bought a red wagon and did we ever use it!  He sat for hours in the wagon as a baby watching Dad milk the cows. We have many memories at the state farm show pulling the wagon behind us trying to be careful not to bump into people, wagon at the fair, wagon at Holstein field night, wagon at cow auctions, wagon rides out the tractor trail, and wagon coasting down the barn hill!
After 22 years and 3 kids, the wagon just wore out!  One day someone tripped over it and it busted right in two!  So it got stacked away in the shop...maybe some day Dad would have time to fix it. 
Years went by and finally that 'some day' happened and the wagon is rollin' again!  Just pulling that wagon and hearing the squeak squeak and rumble rumble of the tires takes me back in time when the kids were little and begging for rides in the wagon.  It was a very good investment and I would highly recommend buying your kids a "little red wagon."









With spring time comes flowers on trees and in the flower beds and......more baby kittens.  Seems like that happens alot around here.  So here are pictures of Callie's latest batch.  I have to admit, they are cute!

We had a wagon extremely similar to that one! They don't make them like they used to so it's nice y'all held onto it to repair it sometime!
