My family (parents, Dan, Zwebers, Grandpa &Grandma Friedges) took a long weekend vacation to a farm in Fountain City, Wisconsin. It was hidden on the bluffs of the Mississippi River, across from Winona. Going in to it we were not exactly sure what to expect, but it ended up being a wonderful trip! My mom is so creative and she came up with the idea. She wanted us "city slickers" to experience what real farm life was like. Thanks mom for bring us here, it was awesome!
We had our own farm house to use. The couple who runs this farm has a home 1 mile down the road. At there place they have cows, baby calves, dogs, kittens and chickens. Where we stayed there were chickens, goats, geese, a dog and a lamb. Farmer Jess took us on a hay ride tour of the land, it was so beautiful. We were right on the cliff looking down.
Highlights of the trip:
- Steve's new farmer look
- Zoe feeding the calves and collecting eggs for breakfast
- Ellie putting her hand in the mouth of a calf
- Kate milking a cow
- relaxing & spending time with the family
- mom's photo shoot
- dancing to music from the old record player at night
- taking an uninterrupted nap!!!
- Dan & Dad's great jokes all weekend! Hey!
- Kate & I wearing Tall Ellie's overalls (thanks Ellie - pictures to come:)
