The Ranchin' Life


We did a little ranching this weekend down in Iowa.  Calves needed to be de-wormed, vaccinated and bull calves castrated.  Then the herd needed to be moved to the east pasture where the grass has grown in thick and tall.  After the manual labor was finished, we took the truck and jeep to a fishing pond and had a cookout and the kids caught a few nice looking sunfish.  It's a great change of pace from the "city" life in St Paul, and fun to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa.

Hanna celebrated her 9th birthday on May 26th.
She had a lovely party with balloons and chocolate cake.

Here's a video of the process:
