A trip to the farm is always an event and days are full full full with nothingness really. Thursday morning I got up and organized before the girls woke up (I HATE leaving a messy house). The plan early in the week was to drive through Sherwood Park and pick up Adams cheque and head out from there. Had we done that it was on the road by 845am. Since we could not pick up the cheque we headed out from our place. My mom drove out here and left her car. We aimed for no later that 1100am and we gone by 1130 (on time for us). Really there was no real rush so leaving late did not put anyone out on the other end. We got to Glendon around 200pm and went straight to Grandma Graces house where we quickly learned a new calf was born around noon. We chatted with Grandma Grace, saw the pups and then I went to pick up Emily from school. I zipped to Baba and Gidos farm to turn up the heat and plug in the fridge. We got back to Grandma and was greeted by Evan who showed up on the quad from my Aunt and Uncles (AKA Daryl and Lori). The girls were getting desperate to get to "Emilys" house so Emily took them over on the quad and we followed shortly in the Envoy. We poured some drinks and shot the shit in the shop until it was time to leave back to Baba and Gidos to sleep. Emily decided she wanted to come and have a sleep over with us girls. We watched some tv before calling it a night.

Sounds like you had a great time!
I haven't been up to Glendon in ages. Dh lived and worked up there before we met and had friends we'd always visit, but we haven't seen them in ages. Interestingly enough the have the same names you mentioned in your blog! The world coudln't be that small could it?
Ahhhhh your pics bring back some wonderful memories of calving season! I'm inspired to go to the auction and pick up a bred cow to calve any day! Isn't it just great to share this with your girls??? :) It must be so cool to see it through their young eyes all over again..eh?
All I could think about was the big perogy as soon as I saw Glendon...
We drive past Glendon on the way to dh's family's farm. It's such a beautiful area! We get our fix by having a small herd of our own. It's so much fun for the kids - having a farm in their lives is the best thing for them IMO! I'm sure your girls love going to check out the cows, and who doesn't love a little calf?
