We got to spend Thanksgiving at Stone Hill with Brad and Olivia, Grandma Dahl, and the Stevenson family. It was a wonderful ten days together. On our drive to Nevada Nigel asked if there would be a real live turkey that we could visit while we were at Grandma's house.
Hannah and Olivia are pretty much amazing and had a friend with a couple real live turkeys leftover the day before Thanksgiving. (All the rest were prepared for some lucky families' feasts.) They arranged a visit for us and all the kids to their family farm. Nigel was ecstatic.
Right out of the car we could see the turkeys walking around. Nigel jumped out and was immediately face to face with the male turkey. The turkey gobble-gobble-gobbled really loudly right in his face, and that was of course enough to make him a bit uneasy around real live turkeys. He spent the rest of the time around the turkeys either in my arms or a bit of a distance from them.
It was a dream come true to see them, but he learned that reality isn't always what we imagine. He had a blast with the kittens, alpackas, absolutely huge dogs, and billy goats. It was a great trip to the farm and I was very grateful to have a sister and mother-in-law who took such care to make Nigel's dream come true. They love him so much.
