As a family we love road trips, often to national parks. We enjoy the outdoors, spending time together camping and hiking. We all love Central Oregon and hope to locate there permanently at some point. As parents we do our best to keep up with all our kids’ adventures and supporting them through it all. We have two dogs, Ruby (redbone coonhound) and Tobi (Great Pyrenees/blue tick coonhound cross). Two cats, Josie (brown tabby) she likes to go with us on all adventures, including hiking and Baby Gus (brown kitten) who we just rescued from our road. We also have 2 Nigerian dwarf goats and 3 chickens.
