Horses, Chickens, and Dogs...oh MY!

Yesterday we had the priviledge of spending the afternoon and evening with close friends of Tim's family, Bob and Lori.  They have 10 gorgeous acres in Loomis, where they have Lippazaner horses.  They have recently started raising chickens to have fresh eggs, and we got to hang out with them as well.  When I was growing up, my family went to see my grandparents (who have the ranch I previously posted about).  A couple to a few times a year, we went to visit them and rode horses, helped feed sheep, rode on the hay truck and in the back of the pick-up, drove tractors, ran around, and had the time of our lives.  It is a dream that Gracie not only gets to still visit there, but she has Tim's grandparents in Loomis where she spends two mornings a week on their five acre property and gets to go feed the neighbors' goats and horses and run around with dogs.  On top of it all, we are blessed to have friends of the family who like to give her even more memories of outdoor fun like this:

She has no problem walking around like she owns the place...

These were Lori's toy horses over 40 years ago!

Visiting Libby who was roaming free

She was fascinated by the chickens and didn't want them to go "home" to their pen

Happy little girl!

One more horse to give a carrot!
