Today we woke up at the Wright’s after driving 12 hours. We picked up a hay elevator in Chewalah, WA that our friend Kelli found on Criag’s list. It took us about 3 hrs off course but it will pay for itself when it zips up the remaining bales into our loft. We pulled into the Wright’s around 10:30 and as usual Terry didn’t do what I told him to do and go ahead and eat and not wait for us when we called 2 hours before. I was secretly happy though, there’s nothing better then a home cooked meal after being on the road all day. And Kelli’s cooking is so yummy!!!!! After a quick catch up the grown ups hit the sack but the kids stayed up to “2:30″ so they say…
The next morning I woke up and let Buddy out and, low and behold, the homestead has grown! The pastures were fenced and cross fenced. There were two horses in one and two cows in another. I heard the goats bleating to be milked and the roosters were busy trying to get all those teenagers out of their fart sacks. After a long haul to the top of the hill I met Lena and Tanner, the equines. Lena was very curious and greeted me right away, making sure I new all her favorite scratching spots. Tanner, however, was rolled up in a little ball on the ground content just to stare at me. When he finally decided he would check me out he got up just like a cat stretching out his front legs and stretching his neck out for a good long time, then his back right leg straight out behind him, then the left. Then he did crouching dog and some other pose I don’t know too well, I think it is called lucky horse and then, only then did he come to me and permit me to pay homage. If he didn’t have his ding-a-ling hanging down for the whole world to see I would have thought he was a she. So dramatic and loves attention, whew!
After that we toured the rest of the place, goats, chickens, calfs, and furniture. Which I will post about later. Kelli needed to go to town and the boys in the shop and that left me with 7 kids OMG! One has a bad case of tennage-itis and wouldn’t pose a problem to me. So I squished the rest of them into the highlander and took them to Brush lake, which was a ten minute drive from their house.
Here is Katlyn Wright and Kaitlyn Lobby preparing for their dive.
Here is Kaitie after the jump. She assured us that the screaming had nothing to
do with the water temp, just the “excitement” of being in it, yeah right!
Here is my baby boy considering his entrance.
Here is Kelli’s baby boy wondering why he got in there.
He figured it out and went in again!
Dylan finally made it in, he needed Michael there for support though.
Dilbert is missing the edge of the pool here, so Katlyn W. is lending her towel for support.
Here she is, isn’t she beautiful? She’s even funny!
Here we are in a new spot, easier entrance.
Here’s Marty throwing a stick for the dogs.
I Love action shots.
This is my favorite, you see the stick splashing in and Kaitie’s little buns of steel as she dives for it!
Here’s Marty waiting for the winning retriever. See Michael overtook Kaitie. He’s always overtaking people!
Katlyn found some weird thing floating in the lake.
It looks like a little Barbie’s silicone breast implant!
So Michael hates getting pictures taken, theres always a killjoy.
This is taken from the scenic overlook. Their house is right in the middle with the teal roof.
Look at these good looking kids. It was hard getting this because they were worried about me…
I was standing in the middle of the road, my life story!
