A Trip to Paradise: Farm Tour

Once Stephen's family showed up, Kade gave us all a tour of the farm he manages. First stop: really huge tractors. Elizabeth and Kade gave us rides in a couple of them.
Elliot thought they were great
He was transfixed watching the tires turn during his ride in the cockpit.
Do you call it a cockpit?
Next stop: Cow feed lots. This involved fitting as many people on the 4-wheeler as possible. Everyone else walked. 
Easily seats 4
Looking at cows

Eowyn kept biffing it in the feed gutter

Our turn for a ride with Kade. 4 wheels, 5 people
We hopped back in the cars and drove over to see horses and more cow feed lots. Brianna was SO EXCITED about the horses.

This horse was showing off some serious teeth

Elliot was giggling and gave one of the horses a few pats on his nose

Then came the coolest part: real cowboys! Kade called up some of his employees and they came by and let Brianna ride on one of their saddled up horses. Then they got back to work and lassoed a sick cow in the feed lot we were watching. So cool!

They somehow managed to notice a single sick cow out of the huge group and lasso it so that they could doctor her up. That's talent!
