Kim, Chad, Jack and Haylee came to visit a few weeks ago. We had a great and busy weekend! Chad and Kim brought Brad and Carol's trailer to haul some hay back to little Felecitee in Spokane. Well, Dad just had 3 hernia operations a few days before and Chad hurt his lower back playing basketball, leaving them both handicap to lift anything over 20 pounds (Haylee was the exception weighing only 13 lbs). So Kim and I got on Dad's old jackets, gloves and we tackled that hay! With many he-man grunts (notice Kim's expression in the 1st photo) we bucked 12 HEAVY bales into that trailer. While the guys sat on the heated screened-in porched and watched from afar, Kim and I conquered the rigorous job, and life, for that matter. We were pretty proud of ourselves. Jack was close by playing with the kittens asking many questions while we huffed and puffed our way to hay-bale buckin' victory. So this just goes to show, you can take the girls out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girls. Kim and Rachel, farm girls fo-life. :) Oh and mom helped as our photographer.
So as you can see in Kim's face, this was quite the job. The difficult part came from trying to walk the bales up the slipperly, steep gate of the trailer.
Looking at our accomplishments, fatigued.

So there you have it, a day in the life of workin' farm girls. After Kim and Chad left Sunday, I had the privilege of mowing the lawn and blowing out the water pipes with Dad. I guess living rent free does have it's disadvantages. Kidding ;)
