Vacation and the farm

Trying to get vacation time is hard enough, but when you have jobs,a farm,and animals to take care of it's even harder. On Monday and Tuesday Sean decided that we needed a mini vacation. So, we packed up the truck and picked up a good friend of Skylar's and Sean's mom and went to Biloxi. The five of us had a great time. The girls stayed with Sean's mom at one of the casino hotels and Sean and I stayed in one of the other casino hotels. The hardest part of this trip was the planning. We could leave mini monster (the cat) home alone for days with enough food and water but we can't do that with jack(the dog). So, we had sky's boyfriend zack take care of the animals while we were gone. The other thing was what to do about farm itself and all of the plants and trees. So again zack came to the rescue and took care of the farm for us aswell. 

While having a 16 year old boy take care of our beloved pets, the house, and the farm made me very apprehensive I'm glad he came through for us and he seemed happy to help out. 

Ordinarally I would've brought jack to my moms house and have them take care of jack for us while we were away. Jack tends to be somewhat of a handful at times and I guess my biggest worry about having zack take care of him was that jack would act up or get loose while zack was taking him out.

We are currently scheduled to take another mini vacation sometime this month, but this time it'll just be Sean and me. I'm looking forward to it and even though it's just for two nights I'll have to decide what to do ,not only with sky, but with jack as well. Sky's wanting to stay home for those two nights and she's old enough and responsible enough to do so, but we'll see if I let her stay home.
