Babysitting a cow!

My in-laws called me the other day to tell me they were cow-sitting. For real! Someone in their church had a 3 week old calf and it needed bottlefed while they were out-of-town. Of course, we had to see it.

Z is lovin' this

Opps!  The calf pulled the bottle out of Z's hand.  I love this picture because Z is backed into the corner, hiding because he is scared.

Back at it after the bottle dropping.

Zachary also got to go in the chicken coop to look for fresh eggs.

I have to add this story for my memory. I took rubber boots out to the farm to put on when we got out of the car. My mother-in-law said that I did not need them. It was hot out there and she convienced me that I did not need them. Wish I would have put them on. While I was taking pictures of Zachary feeding the calf, the calf stepped backwards and stepped on my bare foot in flip flops. OUCH! I seriously had to bite my tongue so that I would not make a scene. I was holding back tears. Kevin knew that I was hurt because I stopped taking pictures. HA! Let's just say my two baby toes got fat & bruised. I am pretty sure they were broken. Let me recommend something...if you are going to a farm no matter what everyone says, take rubber boots & wear them!
