We visited our endlessly patient relative at Snails Pace Acres this afternoon. The kids get their fill of animals and outdoors whenever we visit. While only a mile or two from our cottage, it feels worlds away from all of the activity at Midway Beach. We found barn kittens, visited the horses and attempted (unsuccessfully) to catch frogs in the pond.

Oliver the llama...
Oliver can always be found with his best buddy Speedy (the pony below). Speedy is getting up there in years. When the kids were really little they spent hours each summer riding Speedy. These days, Speedy just enjoys his time with Oliver.

Hi-
Snails Pace Acres? Is the name for real? How did they happen to have a Speedy on hand? Oliver looks like he's ready for a nap at any moment.
This is idyllic. Wish we could visit you this summer!
Kate: did you ask your mom for a kitten for Sport to pal around with?
Keep us 'posted.' We miss all of you.
