Fun Time in Illinois

So I'm finally getting around to posting about our recent trip back to Illinois. It stopped raining a little while for us to go outside. During that time we went over to the Zerrusen Farm (just Amy & Dave's).

I know it may surprise all of you (that know Amy and I) that we DID NOT grow up on a farm. We are both such naturals with animals that you would have assumed we were in 4-H (or any other animal raising club). I'm just sure that's where Amy got her fondness of Ducks and Rabbits. She and Dave are raising 2 ducks and 2 rabbits....oh, wait 6 rabbits...one rabbit had 4 babies over the weekend. She's so in tune with her animals that she didn't even know the rabbit was expecting....anyway, on with the show...


Grant checking out the animals.
For some reason he didn't care for the rabbits -
was much more a fan of the ducks.


Grant very much wanted to pick up the ducks....


Grant realized he was missing the "duck gloves".
Yes, Amy has special gloves she uses to pick up any of the pets.
Isn't that how all natural animal lovers do it??

See, told you I was a pro....
Jon - the City Kid only willing to pet the duck with one finger....


Oh, what shall our next trip home bring?
We're coming home June 9th - ???
Let us know if you have something fun for us to experience
for posting on the Blog after our return.

Stupid question but why do you need gloves to hold a baby duck? I hear it has been rainy down there. Surprisingly, we have had a beautiful week. I think we should have a cook out up at the campground when you guys are home next.

Gloves - because I won't touch it without the gloves...
Yes, rainy down here - sunny every now and then...enough sun to swim in the pool for the first time!!!
We're home the week of June 9th and ready for a cook out! :) See ya soon!
