Unfortunately, Pig, R. and Paula had to make a trip back to Iowa for a funeral mid-January. However, Pig had his first opportunity to check out snow!
While we were wandering around the rest area, we found a snow man:
All was well and good until the snowball tourney. Pig lost 
.
R stepped in to save the day:
Day six had Pig visiting one of the local grain elevators.
Here’s Pig in the back of Chuck’s Nissan Truck. Pig is always safe and wears his seatbelt when travelling.
He was amazed by the huge piles of corn.
Once we got back to Mom’s, Pig decided to explore the yard. He climbed the ladder next to the corn crib.
Pig checked out some old farm machinery.
He took a peek into the barn.
Pig checked out sitting on a hay bale.
And here is Pig is with his new friend, Jasper.
Chuck introduced him to Betty, but she wasn’t too crazy about him and paid more attention to Chuck.
Pig also checked out this old tractor out behind the barn.
Pig took a breather before going in for the evening.
After getting on the road again, we stopped for coffee, Pig decided to check out the vertical truck.
A little later, we stopped at a rest area and Pig climbed the fence to check out the sweeping prairie.
Almost to the top!
At the Top!
After this stop, we basically put the pedal to the medal and got to Iowa. No more site seeing for Pig this day.
NOTE: Pig was not harmed by the barbed wire, it conveniently held him up and made him a little more stable while climbing the fence.
