We had a birthday over the weekend. Ryan turned 13. I can’t believe he is a teenager. I remember when he was a baby and I would make him belly laugh by saying, “Choo Choo.” He has grown up to be a fine young man. All of the big kids were so great with the little ones. I am so happy to have such wonderful friends and to see all their kids grow up. Happy Birthday Ryan!

Our New Animal Friends
The animals at Country Woods Inn made the whole weekend. Everyone enjoyed petting, brushing, and feeding all of them. This place is a little slice of heaven.
Grayson loved all the attention
Brooke and Mark the turkeys
Brooke was so excited to see one of the turkeys had her name. She made sure to tell everyone
Ducks were not happy we were there.
Sammy the pig would squeal if you pet him. We tried but it never happened.
Lily loved to hang out with everyone and most of all loved for you to pet her.
Ella
Otis the billygoat
Ella the sheep wouldn’t get close enough to feed so we had to throw her food on the ground. Otis would have eaten all day if we would have fed him. He was definitely loving the treats and was fine to help himself to the bucket.
Richard and Ruby the rabbits. The kids loved feeding carrots to the rabbits. Brooke and Presley didn’t understand when they wouldn’t eat their carrots. They were caught yelling, “Eat your carrots bunnies.”
Jake Luke
The kids loved petting the goats Jake and Luke.
Jake got out one day when the gate blew open and we had to rope him and return him back to his home.
Jordan tried his hand at roping but wasn't successful.
This was a great morning. These three kids posed for me all morning and had a blast with all the animals.
My girls will always remember this weekend and I love to see their eyes light up when they talk about the weekend. It truly was a great memory filled weekend.
