Sposed to be holidays at the farm.......

Well Daddy told me that we were going for a holiday at the farm.  Well I tell you, this place is not a holiday.  It is incredibly hot and that makes me grumpy.  Plus there is still farm work to do, it never ends.  Here is what I have been up to over the last couple of days.

For a start, I wanted to go out and play, but Nanna was having none of this, she said there was farm jobs to do.

Here is Nanna laying down the law to Zander and Me.  She says we are not allowed outside unless we have our hat and shoes on.  yeah yeah Nanna, I know, I am ready to go.

First job was to pick all the strawberries.  Nanna needed em to make a pie or something.  Here is Nanna giving us the run down on how to pick them.  See the pot Nanna is holding, she needed it full.

Turns out I am a great strawberry picker, here I am getting stuck right into it.  Those little red suckers were so much better in my mouth than in Nanna's bowl.  Zander thought so too.  Nanna never did manage to ever get any strawberries into her bowl that day.  I don't think I will get asked back to pick any more of those little suckers.  But when ever Nanna isnt looking I am gunna sneak off to the patch and have my fill.  They are yummy.








Nanna bought all us grandkids a new swing set for christmas, we are allowed on it when ever we come to visit.  I wanted to go on the slide, but the ladder is a bit tricky and Mummy had to help me the first couple of times, but it didnt take me long to get it sorted and I am now a fully fledged slider, I can slide all by myself.

Tricky slide this one..  But I got it sorted.

YAY!!!   sliding solo.  I wish Nanna would put the pool at the end.  That would be even funner.

Once I got the slide sorted, I had to show Zander how to use the new sandpit.  Afterall, I am a great digger and have to show him how to do good digging.

As you can see, Zander is staggered with my digging skills.  He thinks I am the best digger ever.  But all this digging is pretty hard work, and the farm is damn hot, so it was time to cool off a bit.

The pool is tiny but still pretty good fun.  Except when Pip the lazy sheep dog drinks out of it while I am still sitting in it.  Yuck.  I didnt want to get out, except Nanna said there was more jobs to do.  So I had to get out and do more farm jobs.

Yep Nanna is making me wash the dishes.  I have to wear special gloves because the water is so hot.  Nanna rekons it is heated in the wood stove and it will cook my little hands.  It was all a bit scarey doing the dishes, it sounded dangerous, but I am not scared, I will give it a crack.  But it seems I am too short, I cant reach the sink, even if I stand on a chair I am still too short.  So Nanna had to do the dishes while I went and did some more playing.

Next Zander and I played King of the Castle.  This is where the king takes control of the Castle and has to guard it against all attacks.

Yep, Correct, I am the King, and I was able to take on all comers.  Zander didnt stand a chance against me.  I chucked balls at him when ever he got near.  hehehehe  that means I am the King of the Castle.

But it seems that play time is over. Tommorow is back to farm work, Pa is going to let me drive the header, and Daddy is going to let me have a go on the chaser bin.  Should be fun, stay tuned.
