With the Grandkids

Sunday morning Quilter and I got up rather early (at least for us) and made a northern trek to see Priscilla and family. It was a real nice morning.........sun shining, not too hot..........and so Tech, Priscilla, Princess2, Mimic, and Smiles treated Quilter and I to the MN Zoo. It was a great day, watching the kids looking at all the animals. The girls were very well behaved, which was no great surprise to me. One of the highlights was Princess2 and I went out in a paddle boat together. We went across the pond and got a closer look at a Blue Heron. Then while we were out, a muskrat swam right by us carrying a small branch. Princess2 got to help paddle and steer. She thought that was a cool thing. Watching Smiles at the dolphin show was fun too. The little one was completely raptured by them. I'm sure they have seen the show quite a few times as Priscilla and family have a membership. We took a picnic lunch and ate when we got to the farm. The girls really like that place..........cows, horses, goats, chickens, pigs.........they love them all. I felt quite at home.........had a nice talk with one of the volunteers about milking............I helped cousins, uncles, friends, and brother in law milk at one time or another when I was younger. Now chickens...............I like them fried. For some reason a live chicken and I never got along too well. More on that in a later blog. I got to say...........Thanks Priscilla for a wonderful Sunday.
