Nathan's brother, Chris, and his wife, Katee lived in Arizona when we were out west. We had fun visiting different places there and even went to the Grand Canyon together. They have moved back to Virginia since then and now live in the house that the three brothers lived in while growing up. We knew they had added animals to their space, but I have not been up there to see all that is going on until this visit.
I hit the jackpot when I did go up, because two babies were born that day. One of them was born minutes before Mom and I arrived and was still all sticky and wet. What a beautiful thing to be a part of!
They are all active in 4-H, and shared some of what they are doing there. Abbie showed us her skills with bracing.
Katee showed off some of the beauties that live here. It was clear to me that she spends a lot of time bonding with the animals and really loves it.
We can't forget about the chickens. Well, you really can't forget about chickens because they won't let you if you are anywhere near them.
Every farm needs a great dog and this was one great dog. I wanted to bring Zoe home with me.
It was so heartwarming to see life and love filling the place that had sat empty for far too long. Do you think I could fit one of these in the RV? It could sleep right next to the horse I am wanting to bring along when we start to travel again! That will be one downside to our lifestyle, no space for the cool animals that the other family members get to own. I guess I will just have to be content to soak up the goodness of their animals when I visit and be the aunt to both the children and the pets.
Living the life in VA!
