Today was our last day of work on the ranch.  We finished painting picnic tables (they have a lot of picnic tables!), painted the bathrooms out by the horse barn, did some more trim painting in places around the ranch, fed the chickens, helped ‘drive’ horses into the pins, shoveled out a horse stall, and more.  We worked very hard today trying to get lots of jobs finished up. 

A special treat was getting to see chicks hatch.  Yesterday we were in the hay barn and noticed a mother hen sitting on her eggs.  Today, we went back in there and she had 8 brand new chicks.  Then later Mindy was showing a couple of the kids the babies and we noticed there were ten and one was even hatching while we watched.  Really cool.  There are a few pictures…but the camera died right as the chick was almost hatched!!

After work we cleaned up and headed down the road a short ways to Fin & Feather (a local resort) with a really good buffet type restaurant.  Tonight was a BBQ type theme.  Each night they have a different theme.  The food was good and it was nice to get out and see some more of the area.

We came back to the lodge and had our devotional and everyone has now scattered to pack, hang out, and play games.  We will leave tomorrow morning and head to OK City for the next two nights.  We have worked hard this week and it will be fun to just play for the next couple of days!
