Madelyn at Playground and Post Family Farm Mid-September

Grandpa, should I go down this one?

 HI!

 How do you drive this thing?

 Princess on the move.

 We do all the big slides by our self.

 At Post family farm just 5 minutes from Allendale. They have goats and sheep.

 Cute chickens with feathered feet and a baby goat.

 We like driving the old IH tractor.

 Grandpa helped Great-Grandpa Ted farm 900 acres in central Illinois in the 1950's with

an "H" and a "Super M" (24 and 47 horsepower).

 We did the big tube slide about 15 times.

 We like the piggies!

 The horse swing was hard to hold on to.

They make pumpkin donuts fresh all the time!
