Children and animals


The Holiday doesn't always means trips to other places far away to get experiences. Sometimes it just means "doing other things" where you use to be. Me and my youngest asked our friends, who are farmers,  if we could visit them during "milk time". We both fell in love in this three days calf. At first she was a little bit shy, but after my daughter had given her milk with a bottle they became real buddies. As we don't have any animals in our family, I'm glad that my children are so fond of them. They want us to have a dog but I think that we are away from home to long when we work.


But when my brother asked if we would like to borrow their dog for some summer weeks we thought that was a very good idea. So sweet little Molly is on her holiday with us now, at the lake house and she loves children and water. I don't know if I have told you that my kids also like fishes but...


 that contact hopefully ends up like this...... perches "smoked" with juniper bush,  I can tell you that it was very tasty!

I love any type of smoked fish. Looks amazing. That cow looks very sweet. Hope she didn't eat your daughters hand. :)

this is wonderful that your children experienced the farm. the eyes of that baby calf are so sweet. I LOVE smoked fish - that's a huge tub of it! I've never had it smoked with juniper though. I bet that was delicious - I see the berries a lot in the wild. thanks for sharing your fun days with us Ella. I hope the days of summer are treating you well. have a great week.

What a sweet cow! And having a dog "visit" is a great way to enjoy having a pet without having to commit to one for many years. Our two beloved dogs died a few years ago and while we'd love to get another one, we're like you, gone too much from the house - it wouldn't be fair to a dog. The photo of your kids is wonderful!
