Today was a fun and not-so-fun day, all put together. This morning, Daddy went outside to the barn, and found that our cow was laying all stretched out (We found out before that when the cow is laying flat, that's not good). She was supposed to have a calf in about two weeks. Anyway, basically Daddy had to put the cow down because her delivery went all wrong and she wasn't going to live. So we were all pretty disappointed this morning. The cow was dead, and so was her calf...or at least we thought it was. Later in the morning, we were getting ready to go on a trip to Lancaster to see a Replica of the Tabernacle. A man from our church came to our house (they were going to ride with us), and asked Sarah and I if we knew that there was a little calf standing down in the pasture. We RAN out and there was the calf. It took Sarah, Daniel and I about 10 minutes to catch...It ran through the electric fence and everything. But anyway, that's the long version of saying that the calf WAS alive. We named her Annie. She's SO cute, and VERY spunky. :)


After we took care of Annie, we went to the Tabernacle. We went with a group from church. There was about 35-40 people there from our church.


This is inside the Tabernacle...The shew bread table is to the right, and the Golden candlesticks to the left.

This is the replica of the Brazen Alter and the Laver.


After we were done there, we went out to eat at the Star Buffet.

Daniel was trying Sushi for the first time...(I didn't try any, I was too chicken) he said it wasn't the best thing he ever ate. :)





So that was my eventful day.
In November last year, our other cow had died while she was calving. In that case though, the calf had died too. At least we still have Annie.
Well, Maybe I'll have more to post later! :)
