Our Pets

At the end of May, we got 2 new additions to our family. We added Bonnie and Clyde, which are SHEEP! What the? Yes that was my reaction as well. When I told my sister Emily about it, she busted up laughing. So has pretty much everyone else. We are NOT farmers people.
Up here in the valley a friend of mine started a 4-H club for the kids. They buy their own sheep, which were around $150 a piece. They raise them for 2 months and get them ready to show at the Weber County Fair where they will auction from $350 on up. It is a great way to learn responsibility and add a few bucks to their bank account. Might I add, this is the ONLY reason we decided to do this.
The boys have been doing great so far. They take care of them really well and are generally excited to do it. I think at the end of the 2 months that we have them, we will all be grateful for a break. We have had a few adventures. Building a sheep pen, houdini sheep that both learned how to escape that pen, building another pen, etc. etc. We will definitely be pros by next year. (Yes we decided to do it again!)
If you are bored, come up and meet them. If nothing else, you can laugh at us.
