Forget the Playground...

Grandpa's farm has all the play equipment a kid needs!

.

.

.

A Barn + A Bunch of Round Bales = A Hay Bale Jungle Gym!

Forget a Rock Climbing Wall when you have a Round Bale Wall!

.

.

.

Who needs monkey bars when you have ladders?

.

.

.

The hay loft of an old milking barn makes a great Fort!

.

.

.

You can't beat a water fountain that provides you with spring water directly from the source! Ice Cold too!

And pretty flowers on the way there as well!

.

.

.

And who needs a slide?

.

.

.

And of course, the tractor rides are always a hit!

.

.

.

You get to check out the source of most your meals over the next year!

(And yes, I am serious! One of these beauties is not in my freezers!)
And although the view was at times a little unsavory...

...the company and conversation was GREAT!

And as if that was not enough ... there is a water slide!

.

.

.

And if you do not feel like racing your siblings through the tubes...

... you can always see which of the babies' shoes makes it through its tube first!

(Just have your net ready, because it is no fun chasing them down stream... which we learned from experience)

There are multiple climbing structures!

.

.

.

And even a place to draw!

.

.

.

And instead of a balance beam, there are "balance posts"!
.

.

.

How we love the mountains!

Every minute is like being in a huge playground!

I can not wait to go back!
