tractor-tippin’

// June 11th, 2006 // parenting

I can’t believe I had to explain cow tipping to my Tennessee teenager.  I think I’ll send the kids snipe hunting this week.

    Hmmm… how about watching the submarine races?

    Make sure you watch out for Big Foot while you are out there :)

    When we were there last we were talking about calves. Your teen had no clue as to what a calf was. We also gave her the other names for pigs, horses, male chickens, etc.,

    At the same time I’m not sure if I would have thought about teaching it except some of the kids books have the names in them.
