chicken ranch visit, Noah braces update.

The weekend after VBS we decided to go out to the ranch since it had been a while since we were there, probably since branding. First we had our crazy vacation to Montana, then the bike trip, and then VBS so we were due! We had to see how big those chicks were getting...



...and they were huge! Half grown in only about a month's time.



They were a bit frightened of us. 



They're so pretty!



This one is called Brave because she is the most friendly.



Daddy caught one and Ezra wanted to hold it. And actually, watching Terry run around after hens was my favorite part of the day. It was funny, like he was a little kid.



So that's what he got. 



It was pretty cute. 



I like these ones though they're the most shy. They remind me of pheasants. 



Evie looks so pretty here!



Happy daddy. He's trying to show me fluffy footed hen he had caught for me. 



Fluffy feet!



Noah caught one too. 



We had just recently watched the new Peter Rabbit movie so I thought this old tin I found down there was cute.



It was continuing to be very wet in June, almost like the rain in Montana followed us home, so Alice's tomatoes were huge already although it was only June 24. Unfortunately a big hail storm came through a few weeks later and decimated her entire garden. 



Swollen creek.



An inch and a half of rain. It's so unusual to have all that rain! Love it!



Luna had been left at home all alone that day so when we got home we took her for a walk. We met this neighbor who has a huge and very friendly English Mastiff. He was so big. Luna was a bit frightened and threatened by him so we held her back. She's got too much miniature poodle in her so she's uptight. She wants to fight everything!



Two days later Noah had a twin block put in with his braces (put on in September of 2017) to move his jaw into alignment and fix his overbite. I can't remember if it's supposed to go forward or back but either way it needs to move 1mm a month for the next four months. It took like an hour and a half to get it right. 



It's quite a mouthful and took him a bit of time to adjust. These pieces of plastic sit on top of his teeth so he has to chew on the plastic and learn to talk through it all. He sounds better now but initially it was kind of funny. Poor guy.
