    Man I just love this family! Such a great atmosphere. Buggy really loves her dad - tripping on the ride-on mower, sitting with him while the water tank fills, touching him and still wanting dad-pick ups. Meg so busy with cooking and now her own project of the bees... You have all come so far since you first arrived at the farm... God bless you all and watch over you.

    Jack getting his hair cut is the only way I can tell him on camera from Tyler.
    Little Miss plopping down to chat with Ben while the water filled was so Norman Rockwell.
    And not to leave anyone out Meg is the ray of sunshine we have come to expect as always, down at The Hollar Homestead.

    We got our hoops used from a farmer in New Jersey I believe it was his grandfather who made them. They said they are nearly 100 years old. Then we bought the plastic and a few other things like wiggle wire. But yeah the plastic was one of the most expensive parts! We don't have the roll up contraption, but we may try to give your set up a try. Thanks for the close up of those clips.
    Buggy is absolutely adorable! 🥰 She is learning so much and it is adorable when she explains to the camera!! ❤️ Your channel is truly my favorite. God bless your family!

    💝Of course Buggy was so cute today! She can play with a cat, and it does not run away! She knows how to hook her sweater to her pants so she will not lose it! Amazing. She sits by her dad and waits for the pig water to fill. Legos are very low on her list of priorities. 😂Your boys were so helpful with the pigs and all it took to get it set up! Fantastic! 🔆Meg is able to produce a wonderful meal anytime it seems. ‼ Ben, please stop telling us about your shortcomings. You are an angel (😇) until you start going over what you have failed to do in your mind! Be our superhero! Heaven knows we can use more of those! 🙃Wonderful video Hollar family!

    Just an idea/wondering : if you do put the new pigs in with the male guinea hogs, what about instead of giving them run of both pens together, you rotate them all between the pens... ? Unless there'd be too many in one at once, to do that. Just an idea, for letting the soil rest and parasites die and all that good stuff, in the off month or weeks.
    Buggy is SO adorable. They grow up SO fast... I'm cherishing this time vicariously :) !

    Seeing how the Green house caught water makes me wonder if there is a way to do some type of water collection?
    Maybe some type of open piping that can help collect water that drains to a barrel and the tarp can roll under so the tarp stays dry, or something like that?
    I'm sure you could come up with a dozen ideas and the kids would think of a few more, LOL. Any excuse to build or mold something 😮
