A walk in the country... More than you would expect!

My in-laws are always teasing me that I can never tell anyone what happens when we go to Declo- because it would just be too scarring to others like me, that didn't grow up around/ in "the country." I would like to state here- that I never promised Jacki that I wouldn't tell... And I'm about to spill ALL the beans! :)

All kidding aside- we usually have a lot of fun up in Declo with Shaun's fam

ily. And I do love all of the new things that we are exposed to (okay- not ALL of them... but most!). This last month, Papa Orllo needed to take care of his cows- meaning, they had to have shots, ear tags, brands and I think something else.

Anyway- Shaun and Orllo herded all the cows into the corral and then lined them up for the squeeze-chute (okay- my big-cityness is showing and I can't gurantee that I will do all of these country processes justice or cal

l them by the right name, but this blog is for posterity and I'm doing my best!). Ty was super excited to be able to help THE MEN do the dirty work out in the field, so he stuck right by his grandpa, making sure that he was "helping" him at every turn.

Ty, unfortunately did NOT count on both the smell and the noise the cows made when the branding started to take place. He quickly decided that he would rather be inside with Grandma until the cows quit making all the noise!
