Dairy Farm

The family Little Man and I are spending the weekend with have two boys, who are the same age as Little Man (one is slightly older and the other is slightly younger). The boys get on well.

This morning, when we'd gotten up, dressed, and eaten, Marije and I got the bikes for the boys and headed to a nearby farm. Marije has been bringing the boys here for years now. The boys were thrilled. It was Little Man's first time on a proper working farm and he enjoyed it, though he found it a bit scary when one of the cows started nuzzling him. We saw the new calves (all of whom had been born over the last week or so). They were very sweet. See the extra photos.

We came back to the house and let the boys play for a bit. Marije's youngest slept for a few hours. I'd hoped Little Man would sleep too, but no luck, despite him being very tired.

We also had a quiet afternoon. Marije had a birthday party, her dad's, and is spending the night there. So we have the house to ourselves after she left, with the boys. I've put Little Man to bed, he did need some reassurance, but seems to have fallen asleep. I'm going to relax a bit before going to bed myself.
