"Shane! What are you doing? We're here for your riding lesson!"
"That's better!"
Nothing wrong with loving on doggos as long as you're ready for whatever is coming up!
I left Shane on his own and drove home for his lesson (childcare is great for healthy marriages). PG and Shane were walking back to the riding arena when I returned. I heard the lesson went well!
Shane and I left from the lesson to go deep into the mountains of Virginia.
We were hunting for wild Patricks in their new habitat! Shane had already been there before, so he ditched me in the car and ran to the door.
Patrick and Shelby closed on their house early November last year. I was supposed to help them move at the end of February, but they all got sick. They spent the months in between unpacking, painting, and making the house their own.
This was my first chance to see it. Nana and Pop were the first on our side of the family, but I got to claim 2nd place!
Patrick nearly fell down the stairs coming to great us (In his defense, those stairs were surprisingly steep! People in mountain towns don't worry about that, I guess!).
Nathan is a happy, social, little guy. He was a bundle of energy running around!
We talked for a little bit and I got to look around the house some before we went out for food. Shane wanted to ride in their car! I rode alone while he hopped in the car with a bunch of other people (What a raging extrovert...).
Patrick spent the whole time running in circles after Nathan!
We drove back to their house, and, yes, Shane wanted to ride with them again!
When we got back, Shane hid in the ottoman for a little while to amuse himself and Nathan. Patrick took me up to show off his new man cave and Shane came running up after (wherever the most people are, Shane will be). Patrick's GMing two D&D campaigns and tinkering with making a Plex server to keep himself busy in between books.
Shane wrestled a bit more before we called it a day. Hopefully, we left Nathan nice and tired for Patrick and Shelby!
I was annoyed when I realized I was 4 miles too late for an epic picture!
It was our first Saturday without soccer, so visiting family was a great way to spend it. Congrats to Patrick, Shelby, and Nathan for making the house more their own and moving to a new town!
