Daddy Joe and I have been talking about how the garden could do with the nutrients of horse manure and so we decided to go and collect some for ourselves.
We all got our gumboots on and put the shovel and buckets in the truck and headed over to their place.
Ella was a little timid around the horses (Lacey and Cocoa) at first, but she ended up loosening up and running around in their paddock (with only a few panic stricken screams!)
Faith was like a pig in mud as soon as we got there and she ended up looking like one too. She fell over in the mud quite a few times and I thought that would have made her cry but because the other kids were getting down and dirty in the paddocks she thought it was hilarious.
There were major tears when we had to leave to come back to our boring house in suburbia.
Here's hoping the garden thrives with all the horsey poos!

There you go Aunty Nae, that's where we were when you called wondering why on earth we weren't answering the phone on a Tuesday evening.
Poo picking.....ewwww!!!! Nah you never mentioned that on the phone earlier so I didn't know that was even on the cards lol. Crack up that the girls loved it :) Yeah, how cool would that be living on a farm as a kid aye - so much to see & do......way too many opportunities to get smelly & dirty though for a parent (Mum) to have to clean up though I say! So super cool to have the Christies farm to visit just every now & then :)
