Triple A Farm

Lee Albritton started mentoring Jacob in beekeeping several years ago.  (Jacob says its been about 7 years, but I find that hard to believe!) Since then he’s become a family friend and part time boss as he and Jacob have developed a good relationship.  Jacob often goes out to Mr. Lee’s farm for various reasons and he’s taken the boys a number of times, but this particular time I went along and took some pictures.  They aren’t the greatest because it was such a bright clear winter day, but I think the boys will probably go there from time to time as they age, so I figured they’d like to see the pictures of them playing there later.

Playing on top of the round bales:Sigh, he’s running and jumping between bales with Joshua in his arms fully confident that he won’t fall.  I think I only watched long enough to get a picture.

The boys greeting Tall Man.  He’s also an old man and is no longer a working horse, but the boys enjoyed greeting him:

Tall Man was hanging out in the cow pens.  I’m not sure why I didn’t take pictures of it, but the boys’ favorite part was running through the chute and head catch.  They did it for the longest time and we finally had to drag them away.

Feeding the cows.  Elijah was poised and ready to help as though he could manage on his own:

Hot wire!One of these days these boys will learn to NOT  do everything their Daddy tells them to do.  It turns out touching wet grass to a hotwire will pop your fingers!  No worries….it was mild and they liked it enough to repeat it and experiment further.
