Our Visit to the Gingersnap Rescue Ranch

Hi everyone! I can't believe how quickly September went by! The year is moving by so quickly. Today I am sharing our visit to a local animal rescue. We had to postpone this trip until now because we had a few other events during our youngest daughter's birthday. Afterward, she came down with a cold, and we had to take things easy as she recovered. Our trip to Gingersnap Rescue Ranch was just as we pictured.
