A few Saturdays ago we all headed down to my grandmother's house to spend the day in the country.
It was a little warm but we were just glad there was none of the predicted rain.
Baby A found the dinner bell really quickly and had a blast ringing it.
Then Levi joined in too.
Baby A LOVES dogs. In fact LOVES is probably an understatement.
She would talk to Sweet Pea and Sue in a high pitched voice.
The swing is always a hit!
This was taken last year on the same swing.
Look how much they have changed!
I didn't get pictures of my boys on the swing because they were off catching lizards. The "lizards" we have at our house are actually skinks but these at her house were most certainly lizards and they creeped my out more (if that's even possible).
Just look at them. They don't care that they are standing in a ditch filled with brush were snakes could be hiding. They just want to catch the lizards. I have to walk away saying a prayer that they will be ok. It's worked so far!
After lunch my boys were begging to go explore the woods. I remember doing this as a kid and it was always so much fun.
So exploring is what we did.
This picture (above) says it all. These boys are ready to go and are not waiting on the rest of us.
Apparently we were too slow. LOL!
She may be sassy but she is most certainly a country girl!
My Nanny Joann and Ralph live on about 177 acres of mostly wooded land.
It's like heaven for my kids.
We stopped at the old barn and took a few pictures.
This one (above) was from last year.
My boys always go to this one field that use to be a pasture and now is filled with trees. They think these are the best climbing trees. They would know, they've climbed many trees.
Levi and Baby A wanted to climb trees too but they aren't quite big enough to do so. Tim can't tell them no though so he set them on a lower tree limb (never letting go of them though)
I think my boys would have walked and walked and walked those woods until dark came but it was HOT and HUMID so we headed back to the house.
I LOVE this picture of Baby A and Tim walking back to the house. She is such a daddy's girl!
In no time she was tired of walking and begging Tim to carry her.
We brought the guns but since it was so hot we didn't get any of them out except the bb guns. Levi helped Uncle Tim shoot the bb gun a few times.
Sweet girl!
When we got back to the house, the kids explored around the house some and Scooter found the muscadine vine.
So the kids got some bags and a bowl and started picking them.
I am pretty sure they swiped every last muscadine on that vine.
We let Sue out for a little bit (Baby A was in heaven) and she sat under the fig tree watching the kids pick the muscadines.
Scooter also talked Ralph into picking a few pears from their pear tree. We took home 3 or 4 pears and made pear applesauce in the crockpot. YUMMY!
Tim got brave and made Muscadine jelly.
We had such a great time and we all slept really good that night.
