R.T. '09: Fun on the Farm

We're still on the farm in Grassy Cove, Tennessee...leaving tomorrow for Albany, Georgia. In case I haven't explained the Tennessee connection fully, my brother Elijah (32 years old today) got married last year to Kristin Kemmer. Kristin's family has a big farm here, with tons of Black Angus cattle and Boer goats. They also have beautiful Belgian draft horses, and Anatolian Shepherds.

We really love it here, especially because Kristin's family is so nice and the kids get to run around and visit all the animals. Today's events included riding in the back of the pickup truck down to the barn to see the cows, goats, and barn cats, and then a little further down the road to grandmother's house to see the (big) baby horse and the (tiny) baby goat. After naps for everyone, we drove the RV to town for barbecue, and then Kristin's mom, dad, and Namaw came over to see us.

The kids have driven their cousin Josh and the dog Lenox crazy for our entire visit. It has been such a nice break but tomorrow it's on the road again. We're spending one night in Georgia on our way to Bradenton, Florida, and then we have 3 nights there to relax and visit with Grammy & Poppi. Hide the breakables and tranquilize the cats! We're on our way!
