Right after we got there the kids took turns on the swing.
After a few minutes, it was time to go see the two new baby calves.
"Baby Moo Cows, you say? Oh how fun!" This little girl loves all of the animals!
Daddo took the big kids in the mule and the rest of us drove down to the barn.
We spotted the mama cows and their babies right away. Let's just say they weren't all that thrilled to see us.
As we walked closer to them, they kept walking further back. Thank goodness there was a fence nearby, so this didn't go on for long.
After we saw how much they didn't really want us to be near them, Rancher Raines had a good idea. Lure them with some sugar cubes. They came running, and fast! Even though Mama Cow loved her a good snack, she still kept an eye on us...
This little guy was only 1 day old, can't say I blame her:)

After we hung out with the cows for a few minutes, it was time to go feed the longhorns. Lila loved seeing them, too, and wouldn't take her eyes off of them. She waved and said hi in the sweetest little southern voice probably 30 times. Later that afternoon Jackson, Jared and I took off on the four wheelers. We came upon four more cows and a baby. At first we thought this might be the same ones that we had seen earlier that day, but we quickly realized that wasn't possible. Upon further inspection, we figured out that it was a brand new baby calf! As in born in the last few hours! It was still very wobbly on it's feet, but was doing well. A true labor day baby!
Thanks, Gigi & Boom for inviting us. We had an awesome day. I'll end with this great pic. Lila Lou rocking the pink boots and sunglasses--you go girl!
