A day with Grammy on the farm

 - by Brittany

Saturday, June 5, we headed down to Fernley to visit Kevin’s mom. Jameson was so excited. He chased the cat around, which I wasn’t too fond of. I have to wash his hands every time, since I’m allergic.

Then he checked out the new lambs and the llamas.

While we were there, the bee lady came. She keeps a hive on their property. I guess you can only have so many bees per so many acres. We got to watch her add another hive. She told us the smoke confuses the bees. It’s almost like an anesthesia for them. Still, I would think you would want to wear a little bit more protection than just the hat.

She even got some honey for us to try. It was delicious. You just put the wax in your mouth and chew, sucking the honey out. Once the honey is all gone, you spit the wax out.

After the bees, Jameson helped Grammy collect eggs from the chicken coop. First, they picked some grass to feed to the chickens.

After collecting the eggs, he had to climb the mound of wood chips left over from the tree that fell over.

After running around on the farm for a few hours, we went back to Reno for some shopping. Grammy was kind enough to keep Jameson occupied with her new toy.

His reaction, “Ooooohhhh, a big itouch!” He was so excited. After shopping, Jameson headed back to Fernley with his Grammy to spend the night. He had a blast.
