Family Time in Stayton

After Sisters, we drove west to daughter Season and SIL Lee’s home in Stayton, Oregon, which is near Salem. Season and Lee have a big yard, a creek, huge trees and plenty of room to park the rig and tow car.  Not to mention two of our grandsons. And then there are the chickens, rabbits, dogs, and reptiles. 

We “camped” in their yard for two nights, went out to dinner with them in Salem, and had a great enchilada dinner made by Season. We walked our dogs all over their property, Maddie took of after their bunnies, Arlo took off after a deer, and the  boys roamed between their house and our motor home. And none of their livestock was injured by our livestock.

Season and Lee have a big front yard with a forest and creek in the back yard. We parked in front of their big garden.

Grandson Owen is nine, in the fourth grade, and posing with Maddie in our sleeping loft .

Seven-year-old Connor in the sleeping loft with Maddie.  I think Connor explored every corner of our RV.

Chicken Hedda thinks she's a dog and always wants in the house.

One of two roosters.  This guy seemed like top rooster and is named Blue.

Season and Lee have a lizard and a snake.  Here she's feeding Mr. Lizard who -- if you look closely -- is in mid grab of a meal worm. Mr. Lizard has an actual name, but I had a hard enough time trying to remember the chicken names, let alone names for a lizard and a snake. :) 

Connor, Season, Owen, and Lee on Monday Night Football night.  Jim told Lee he had his "full Amish" on; Lee said we should have seen his beard earlier as he'd just done a major trim.
