I brought the last load of items out of our storage unit to the farm until we move here permanently, years down the road. The drive is 18.5 hours not including any stops, traffic, road closures, detours, gas and potty breaks. I wanted to drive straight through but that didn’t happen. We did get into Kentucky before we stopped for the night though. Cheyenne our oldest daughter was very excited about going through Tennessee, and going to Kentucky. She had never been to either state, she did great on the trip here.
I stopped around 1:20 am with 3.5 hours left to go. The kids and dog were snoring in the car and I was ready for some sleep. I woke Payton up to help me find a dog friendly hotel and luckily their was one about 3 miles up the road. We all went straight to sleep. Zep woke me up at 4:45 a.m. to go potty. I was not super happy about it but when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. And then went right back to sleep.
Meanwhile in Kentucky my parents we to a small animal auction and purchased 2 rabbits. A white rabbit that hunter named Carbanogg (a killer rabbit of of some movie or show he watched), and a black rabbit that I am not sure of the name yet. I’m not sure if he could have picked a longer name….
We got back on the road early this morning and headed onto the farm. When we finally got here around lunchtime (and totally forgot about eating lunch) dad walked around with me to show me whats been going on since we went back to Texas. The field looks so nice mowed down, and the chickens sure have grown!
We started working on unstrapping the trailer and getting it unloaded and I noticed around the water meter it was covered in water. Uh oh, another water leak. Dad went to investigate what was causing the leak. He quickly found it as the rest of us unloaded the trailer. It did not take too long to get it unloaded with 3 teenagers, me, and my mom.
When we were done with the trailer and unloading the navigator, I went to help my dad. Not sure if I was helpful or just in the way. Then when he was finished fixing it I pulled the dirt (mud) back into the hole.
What a fun adventurous day, time head to bed. I have to get up early and take Hunter to meet his new doctor here. Too bad he can’t keep using the same doctor we have in Texas. We just love her and her staff. Hopefully Hunter will love his new doctor here as well.
