One of the first stops we made while in Idaho was a trip to my brother's house, which has been dubbed "The Farm." He has multiple dogs, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and more than likely, other animals living there they don't even know about!
He breeds dogs, and one of his labs had puppies six weeks before we got there, which meant there would be puppies to play with! Nixon loved it, obviously. He would have sat there for hours letting them pounce, nibble, lick, etc.

I just have to say, chickens are some of the funniest animals. They have this thing called head tracking that allows them to maintain their head in a still position, even if their body is moving around. My brother, Derrick, decided to show us in action. He moved the body in a circular motion, while the chicken's head stayed level. It looked like it was dancing and it was hilarious!

We had a blast as always! It's fun to see your child experience new things, and to see Nixon in a totally different element was exciting. It makes me want to give him every opportunity to try new things and have new experiences!
Thanks for letting us come visit again, Derrick and Kim. Can't wait until next year!
