fun on the farm, part 2

we just got back from a whirlwind weekend at poppy and cd's, where fun was had for all! we love spending time with them and when we're there, it's never long enough! avery fits right in and despite her 'girly' demeanor, she acts like a real outdoorsman on these trips - she fishes, plays with the crickets and worms (like they are pets), helps mix the horse feed and she helps feed them real food and treats (carrots). addison, not so much. wasn't a big fan of being outside nor was she a fan of any of the animals, domestic or not. turns out, there was a reason...but that will come in a later post, trust me, God's humor deserves it's own post.

avery and cd were baking, one of their favorite things to do together
but naturally, she had to test the ingredients. i don't know where she gets that...
and, time with the horses is always a favoritenot even a healthy fear
definitely fear we loved the slipnslide on the hot afternoon
but not when daddy came while we were on it. notice that he's in full motion and she's not looking. what we have here is the calm before the storm. addison was scared to death of the dogs, Bucket (Bucky) and Marley. can you tell?
that's full sprint, friends
now she's safe...in my lap
and i just loved this picture...she looks so big!
we also spent a lot of time riding on the gator
just us girls and the entire family
check out this storm cloud. we had just returned from our turkey hunt and apparently there had been horrible storms in atlanta and this cloud was right over their house...and it was swirling. you can see the 'eye' of it.


we had a great trip poppy and cd! thanks for having us! we love you!

So not Avery to be the "outdoor" type yet seems she is loving it. Sweet Addison just wants to be left alone (that is with the animals, now that's a Nana girl!)
Looks like a great weekend, sorry it ended early.
