Friends Visit Ranch

We were busy bees last week, what with Baby Doll's farrier visit, the Equine Vet Visit, visits from several friends, and preparing for our sons to go spend several weeks in North Carolina with their grandparents. whew!

Well, our sons are on their way to North Carolina as I type this and we are preparing for a busy end of the week, too.

Meanwhile I'd like to share a slideshow of photos taken of my dear friend, Jenifer and her kids who drove up here from Albuquerque to visit with the animals, enjoy a day on the ranch, and enjoy a BBQ with our family, too.

We had such a good time with them and wish they could have stayed even longer. Jenifer's kids are really great and we all had fun visiting.

You'll notice in the photos that Jenifer has a fear of chickens. They kind of creep her out. But you'll also discover that she overcame that fear, too. Way to go, Jenifer!

All of our critters were on their best behavior and were excited to have all of the kids feeding and petting them, and it sort of felt like we had a petting zoo here. haha!

Check out the photos for yourself and see what I mean:

Looks like everyone had a good time at the ranch! Baby Doll looked very sweet and happy getting all those carrots! What will you do w/out your boys for a few weeks? ;) I bet they'll have a blast in NC, though!

It sure seems like a good time was had by all. I bet after a few days you will miss the boys. I'm sure they will have a great time though.

There is nothing sweeter than photos with kids and animals. Such a nice thing to share your farm. Those kids will never forget that visit.

I'm so glad all the animals put up with having visitors. It will be something to remember for a lifetime.

Hi Pony Girl and Grey Horse Matters,
Yes, I miss them already. It's so darn quiet without those two silly puppy boys around here keeping everyone entertained.

Hi SugarCreekStuff,
I sure hope so. It was definetly fun having them here.

Hi CeeCee,
All of our animals are friendly and sociable. I won't keep animals that aren't. They get so exciting when visitors, especially children come to visit. And yes, if you are ever in our area of NM, please stop in and visit. We'd love to have you!!

Oh Christy!! You are always welcome. Consider our door always open to your and your family to come visit!

CDN Cowgirl,
Thanks a bunch for checking me out. And please come back and visit soon. I'll be sure to visit you and your blog soon, too.
