Sunday was a beautiful spring day. A day for leek picking and chasing cows.
Justin carried Elsie in the baby carrier and then wrapped a vest around both of them.
We cheat. We occasionally use 4-wheelers on our walks.

Some cows got out and Owen decided that we should put them all together. So we spent an evening watching cows come and go. I was in unimportant places--don't let the cows run back up the lane--so I stood around and took pictures. Beautiful evening.
Trying to lure them with hay. This worked only marginally.
Stragglers
Things are green!
Owen getting the last few. He holds one of their calves and then the mother follows, which makes the other cows follow. Or should.
The rebel calves. These calves ran all over the place, bellering for their mothers and kicking up their heels.
And then finally, the cows all got together. Under the elm tree. In the evening sunshine.

Fabulous pictures! Spring on the farm is the best. Where'd the second bus come from?
That is Cody's bus. He bought it from Dana's--a farm nearby. It still drives, so Dad delighted the kids by driving it a little bit and flashing the lights. Oh so cool!
Oh, my word, the cuteness of all those pictures of your kids! LOVE the one of Dad and Lily walking, but it would be hard to pick a favorite!
