Holly Monette shares some photos of her hubby and granddaughter out feeding the deer in Bootjack. The two year old joins Grandpa in every aspect of the job at hand, from helping to drive the tractor, to filling the pails and dumping the feed in a line, as the deer begin coming in to enjoy the pellets they put out to help them make it through the frigid temperatures of winter here UP North.
We feed the deer around our farm, until the snow gets too deep and they head to deer yards in areas closer to the lake, where the snow isn’t quite so deep. Then folks like the Monette’s take over feeding them where they “yard up”, to help them survive the winter.
Check out how serious this little helper is about feeding the deer with Grandpa, as she walks along behind him with her smaller pail, dumping the feed just like Grandpa does. So adorable and helpful all at the same time.

So adorable is right Mary! The one where they are dumping the feed and the first deer is waiting in the wings is so cute! Making memories with Grandpa!

We, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and neighbors should all realize that we make long term impressions on the children. Childhood is so important in determining the rest of our lives. Positive and constructive experiences should always top our lists. God bless

Well said David S. (Yooperdfs)! Couldn't agree more!

That was so adorable. Omgosh. Reminds me of one of our granddaughters at that age. Grandpa could do no wrong. That was definitely one of the cutest videos I've seen here. Love all of the pictures also. Thanks for sharing those.
