Ranch Life

I am a city girl, there is no doubt about it. However, I love spending time at my in-law's ranch. There is something so relaxing about being away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Plus, I don't care who you are, looking out the kitchen window and seeing horses roaming the backyard is pretty stinkin' cool. While the ranch is relaxing for me, it is a world of fun and wonder for Kenley. We spent two of our April weekends on the ranch and Kenley had the time of her life. She got to have a Easter Egg hunt...

...and then was gifted her very own baby chicks. Yup, my 2.5 year old is the proud owner of 6 {well, now 5, we had a loss} baby chicks. 

Those of you who know me in real life are probably cracking up laughing because you know I am beyond terrified of birds. For a hot minute my in-laws thought we were going to bring the 6 soon-to-be-full-grown-chickens home with us....me, with 6 pet farm birds. I'd move out. 

Yep, I held one. Take a good look...it will NEVER happen again. Also, baby chicks are not scary when they're 5 days old {pictured}. When they're 2 weeks old, they are officially terrifying. 

As Kenley has quickly learned, life on the ranch isn't all fun and games. There is much to do and K is put to work. Our little ranch hand LOVES helping her Papa with all the chores, like feeding the chickens and finding eggs...

...heading to the barn to feed the cats and get hay for the horses...

...but it's kind of a hike for a teeny little kid, so it's best to drive...

...then the horses need to be fed.

All the hard work is totally worth it when you can bring your bestie to help.

While I am a city girl at heart, I think my little love might just prefer life on the ranch.
