Teddy and Bear

It's been a crazy week here with lots of company and lots of parties for our Love2learn Gathering. We had families in from Oregon and South Dakota (three families total) plus numerous local families who are involved in the Love2learn website. Been too busy for blogging (getting to be a habit with me, I'm afraid).

Anyway, we had a lovely day today with the Myjaks and the Swarts at Old World Wisconsin. A highlight for us was the new team of oxen - named Teddy and Bear. They weigh, literally, a ton each. Their handler was great (and very patient) with the kids and we were amused to learn that he uses the same terms to signal the animals as were used in Farmer Boy.
