Today we got up early and got a Zipcar and went to Jayson & Gretchen’s for the day. It was funny since we thought there was going to be a BBQ but they canceled the BBQ since it was going to be super hot and they just wanted to catch up with us. The drive up was ok. Teagan was fussy for the first 45 minutes to an hour. We are not sure why. She typically goes right down for a nap in the car but didn’t this trip. After stopping for a few minutes along the way she did settle down.
We got to see their new garden and chickens they were raising. I still find it a bit funny that Jayson is trying to raise chickens but I also think its really cool. I am not sure if I would put that much work into it. Teagan got to pet some chickens. She also got to play with Seth and Eli. She got along with both of them but her new friend is Seth. She was making her laugh so much it was so cute to see.
Teagan also got to play with their dog Hemmi. As we were driving up MC asked if we could take Teagan to a dog park one day. I then was wondering who we knew with a dog she could play with instead. Then it dawned on both of us that we were driving to a friends house who had a dog. Teagan chased Hemmi all over. She was generally gentle but did pull his ears a bit. She had fun, and i would like to think Hemmi did too.
On the way home we were smart and finally asked Jayson & Gretchen the best route to take since the way we have been going to them has no traffic but its a very tight windy road. They told us a better way that uses interstates. it may get more chance of traffic and be slightly (5-10 minutes) longer but it was worth the risk and the ride was much easier.
Overall it was a good day with old friends.
