The Newton Menagerie

One of the best parts of visiting Uncle Josh & Aunt Kristene's house is what you can find in the back yard!!!  They have a peck of the craziest, quirky chickens I've ever seen.  They have a coop, but are rarely in it when the weather's nice.  Usually you can find them wondering around and exploring the backyard.  It's a lot of fun to watch them...and today we got to see a scuffle!


 And the winner is!!




 Newton is a small town, but it is full of surprises.  A few doors down from my brother, the family has a lot of animals.  They take care of them and travel around to different fairs and petting zoos!  Their backyard is absolutely insane, the kids were totally loving it.

brand new baby goats are kept in the garage

the baby sheep were a bit shy and didn't stray too far from their momma
this goose was walking around the pen of boy goats as if it ruled the world
this pig was pretty huge!  it just stood by the fence and stared at us the whole time we were visiting
here is Maya.  she's the bestest lab ever.  she is just like Nana, from Peter Pan, she's always trailing after the kids making sure everyone is alright.  she's such a lover!!
Kade & Carley watching a bit o tv


these guys were super excited to have their photos taken, they kept running to different places all over the yard begging for me to take pictures, very cute!
Zack & Addi



OK, this totally cracked me up.  Here is Zack in his soccer outfit.  He is the resident jock.  He wears this uniform everyday.  Kristene has to physically peel it off his body every few days for washing!  So funny!
