Summer wouldn't be complete without a weeklong visit to the Pifer family farm with PaPa Joe and Anna. This was another great year of learning and growing at the farm.
To start Grant quickly learned the lesson about the electric fence--he tried to crawl under and got a big surprise! PaPa Joe and Anna kept Owen and Grant for over a week while Mommy and Daddy went to Pig in the Woods(well Daddy went this year...Mommy was in bed with back pain.)
Owen and Grant pretty much get the run of the farm and can do just about anything they want while they are there. Joe and Anna are extremely attentive and patient with the boys. This year they got to go tour a real coal mine and actually "dig" for coal. This was pretty cool because we have some coal miner blood in the Pifer side of the family. The boys thought it was a hoot! Owen and Grant had fun seeing all of the relatives at the family reunion, got to tend to all of the farm animals, make ice cream, collect eggs, pick raspberries and blueberries, go on picnics, pick vegetables in the garden, work in the woodshop, play with cousins, drive the tractors, mow with the riding lawnmower, shoot cap guns, BB guns and Owen got to shoot a real .410 shotgun this year...just to name a few things they did.
The boys always seem like they have matured years by the time we see them after their week is over and PaPa Joe and Anna seem "pooped" after it is all over too! Everyone always has a great time and it is sad to say goodbye. We thank everyone in "Punxy" for the great time we all have each year!
