Even the dogs were ready for some fun!!
Robert brought Buddy to visit as well...
and after telling us about the property - and hanging out for some coffee....
we were on to some fun!
I taught the kiddos how to fish...
and after fishing... we headed out to see cows and horses
the dogs ran, and ran, and ran... and then played, and played and played...
and we had the rhino and the mule to take us everywhere we wanted to go!!
I had the stomach flu... but I toughed it out - just didn't want to miss!
we did have a scary moment. While fishing... we were putting bait back on the lures and Simba snagged Grace's. Holt grabbed him and spread open his mouth, James held Simba still and I shoved my and down his throat. It was SO scary - all I could think about was my cat Tiger... she had one in her lip and it was terrible.
When I reached it... I realized it wasn't caught so up I pulled and BAM - it was out!
Grace BAWLED... it was terrible. She was SO sad and it wasn't her fault. After she snuggled him. It was so sweet... big crocodile tears and Simmy just let her snuggle. It was sweet.
My very, very dirty little boy
Holt begged to burn THIS bonfire... I threatened to kill him
Grace even drove...
and of course... when you gotta go... you gotta go!
JJ taught Davis how to shoot SAFELY. I was really proud of the dads and the way they taught their kids to fire weapons.
Grace didn't want to do it but her dad showed her that she would be safe - she was with HIM.
She was awesome!
look at that focus!!
T was up next (in jammies of course!)
and he did it! I was so proud!
Nimmy laying in the sun
and Daddy proudly firing some off!
Uncle JJ's reminding the boys that it's best NOT to waste water...
T loves some smore time!
But Daddy schooled him on how!
He IS. SO. DIRTY! It was awesome!
This is where I stayed Friday and Saturday... it was 30 degrees out and I was SO sick. T was screaming and so cold that I had to move him to the apartment. On Saturday - Sue and the kiddos joined me as well!
Then we took this photo... it will be made into a fun gift so you'll see soon. It's hard to thank someone who has everything - have to get creative!
Four adults, four dogs and 3 kids... it was awesome!!!
My boy caught 4 fish and even reeled the last one in himself. I could not be more proud of my `50% boy!
Awesome weekend and a tough mommy making it through the stomach bug....What a great experience for the kids...and the big kids....hugs
