Play Barn Antics

It was wonderful to catch up with our daughter and her little family on my trip away.  We certainly made the most of our short time together having lots of adventures to recall and plan for the future.  The play barn is always a must go to, a great place for imaginative and energetic play.  I enjoy getting involved in their games and they still love running around with Granny.  Long may that last.


Little Pig, Little Pig...I will blow your house down.


Off to work to earn some money for a holiday to Granny's Island.



Making sure the tank is full, its a long trip.




A hard days work on the building site.



Before a good long break for lunch.  We then went onto have a stroll around the farm, making decisions about what would be nice to have.  The rabbits were a real hit.



There was a couple of escapees which enabled us to get up close to the goats.  I loved the idea of goats milk and cheese.  Wilbur was not keen on the smell...



The horses were a joy and were added to the list of maybes.




We did fall in love with the pig, he was so ugly he really needed some love.



A wonderful day out makings lots of lovely memories to treasure.  I have had a great couple of hours recalling some of the boys antics and sharing the fun with Grandad, they are indeed a joy to us both.

As always I thank you for your visit and your encouraging comments.  Prior to going away I was blessed with a parcel from  betsy-thesimplelifeofaqueen.blogspot.co.uk.  I had long admired her beautiful knitted wash/dishcloths so it was a real delight and great surprise to receive two in the post.  Each time they are used warms my heart.  





A big thank you Betsy, they are beautiful.

The weather forecast is looking good for the weekend, so I am hopeful  that some outside jobs will get done.  Have you any plans?

See you soon.

  1. That looks like a fun place. My two would have loved it when they were small. I laughed about the pig, he has some luxuriant hair, doesn't he?

  6. Playing with the grands is great for the soul. I love the fun area you visited with them. I especially like the building site. Your grands are so sweet and I know that they really enjoyed playing with Granny. Love the dishcloths. Very pretty pattern and so colorful. ♥

  8. Such a fun day. Our Piper would love it too. I have always wanted goats and chickens but I fear that is not to be.
    I’m glad you like the dishcloths. I just wanted you to know that I’m praying for you and Gerard and have something tangible to remind you of that whenever you use them.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  10. Spending time with grands is always fun ( and exhausting). I remember when the grands here would hold their noses when we visited a farm.
    That pig is sort of ugly, isn't it!!

  12. The play barn sounds like a great place to spend time with little ones (and grandmothers!) Wilbur holding his nose is cute. The knitted dishcloths are very pretty.

  13. Enjoyed the photos of the grands and the animals, Lorraine. Our weekend plans will involve being indoors during the afternoons as we are having a heat wave for the next week as is much of the U.S. east coast.

  14. Oh those adorable children.. I swear they are the cutest ever. And your daughter is a doll, too. Takes after her mum. It's good to have kids get to know farm animals. We have no big plans this weekend.. but I want to take the kids and grandkids to see a river beach where we might swim. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  17. So happy for bloggers. I see things I've never seen all the time in someone's post.

    I've never seen a hairy pig.

    I've never seen the pattern of your beautiful dish clothes. They're too pretty to use. I'd want to wear them somehow. Kudos to Betsy.

    Good to have you back.

  21. I'm thankful you had fun with your daughter and grandchildren! Nice little farm! Goats and llamas can smell nasty for sure. Nice washcloths Betsy sent you. This afternoon I bought 3 new plants with my color spots from Al's garden center. $10 off.... 2 are cannas and are tubers. If I put them inside late fall they'll survive. I'm enjoying the color in my flower garden this year. Looks like it might rain tonite. Lots of clouds! Take care and have a nice weekend!

  24. What a sweet outing and fun time with the grandchildren.
    They are such precious little boys.
    I must say that I love pigs. I think they are so smart and fun to watch. My grandson used to ride his. Big Red loved it. He was a pet with a personality.
    I have not see wash clothes made this way. I do like them a lot.
    Very creative and pretty.
    Happy Sunday to you,
    Betsy

  25. How nice to be able to spend some time with your family ! Your grandsons have grown ! I love pigs I don't know why, but they love me too. Once on a farm visit there was a black pig which followed me everywhere and even washed my feet, lol ! And you even have found time to knit ! I would like to have your email if you don't mind, then I could directly answer to your questions !
