My, how these handsome boys have grown! I get the feeling I’ll be saying that every time I see them.

We stepped outside into the beautiful open areas of their community, making our way slowly through gazebos and paths to the big red barn. From their vantage point, every tree or fluffy wheat plant was a new curiosity to be explored – although not always gently. “Hey guys, don’t shake those too hard, the HOA will complain”.  I don’t blame them, I would do the exact same thing if people weren’t watching.

These guys were very accommodating, flashing big, winning smiles that melt your heart and strolling back and forth on seeming short walks to no where. (“Alright guys! Turn around and walk towards me!”)  The end result is worth it though, if I do say so myself.
