When we were leaving my in-law's house this past weekend we stopped to say goodbye to Granny on our way out. Only she wasn't home. It's a good thing we at least saw her the day before at the festival.
But next door lives one of Hubby's uncles, Sam, who was outside tending to his animals.

When I first met this family I only recall Sam having several dogs, majority were rottweilers I believe. And he might have had a horse or two at the time(?). But over the years he's become more and more involved with collecting a variety of animals. He still has several dogs although some have come and some have gone. He has one horse right now although it's not much of a rider. And in recent years he's collected some goats! He's got nine as of right now. And most recently he came across a baby deer that he took in to care for. {He named him Bambi!}
So we stopped by for a few minutes to chat with Uncle Sam while little Lucas was asleep in the car. And I brought out the camera to take some photos of the goats. Sam spent several minutes trying to coax Bambi out of his hiding place in a nearby trailer where it was cooler. Finally Bambi appeared and I was able to get some photos of the two-year-old as well.
I've always wanted to go inside the fence and play with the goats but they have gotten BIG - and they have quite some HORNS now too. Let's not and say I did...
We didn't stay out there too long because the mosquitos were TERRIBLE. Another reason we let Lucas sleep instead of bringing him out to see Uncle Sam and the animals. And it's a good thing I was wearing long jeans instead of shorts, but I was wearing my flip-flops so my feet are now sporting lovely red {and itchy} bites.
