Weirichs in Wyoming: Montana

Montana & Kitty Time

3:00 PM

November 4th - 6th 2016

Our friends the Reno's in Montana had an accidental batch of kittens and we showed Adleigh pictures of them. She kept begging for us to get her the orange one that she named Rhino. She kept talking about how she wanted to go see "Uncle" Chris and I'm guessing it was because she wanted to go see the kittens. We found out that Brian was going to be off work early one Friday so we decided to head up for a visit.

6 hour car trips are rough for this little dude. He kept himself mostly entertained with my shake.

The Reno's have a very nice Suffolk Sheep breeding program. My kids loved getting to hang out with all of the sweet ewes.

Adleigh trying to hug Izzy their most friendly sheep.

We had to earn our stay and help load up some hay. Adleigh loved riding on the trailer while it was moving.

We also spent lots and lots of time hanging out with kittens.

The kittens weren't quite sure about the very loud children but mostly did good with the kids,

Breydon could hold kittens all day long.

Queen of the hay bales!

Pretty sure we need to move to a farm.

Helping unload some more hay bales. Breydon was super helpful and totally didn't get in the way at all.

Adleigh got to help feed the sheep.

Throwing sticks for their dog Copper. He could fetch all day long, I'm pretty sure.

Breydon played too. He couldn't throw the stick very far but it still made Copper happy.

And we ended up takin two kittens home with us. The orange kitten did not like Adleigh at all and the one further back in this picture got along really well with Adleigh so that is the one she picked (she is now called Rhino). The one closer in the picture is the pretty one (named Sky) that Brian liked and wanted Adleigh to pick. Since our stray cat Bolt had run away we decided to adopt two so they could entertain each other. (Bolt ended up showing back up about 1.5 weeks later, starving and unhappy about sharing his bed with two kittens but has now warmed up to them. )

Kitty Heaven! We had planned to keep them in the box the whole time because we figured they would be scared of being in the car. Nope, Sky kept escaping out of the box and then Rhino would cry because she was alone. They spent the whole ride either snuggled up with one of the kids or with me.
