Busy Weekend

What a time of new discoveries for Elisha this last week has been. Friday evening when I got home from work (yes, I am back to work now, *sigh*, but it has been really good to see all my customers and staff and know that Papa and son are having some bonding time together), my boys were all ready to go. So I changed quickly, we hopped in the car and took off for the campgrounds where Tim's mom and dad were camping last week.

We arrived and he had the time of his life- who knew there was such freedom in eating? No strapping in to the seat- take a bite and run around- whoo hoo- and he found he could tickle Mamaw and Mama through the backs of the seats! hehe

Papa was the master cooker over the coals and Elisha had his first campfire hot dog. It was a hit with him!!

Then yesterday, Uk-ka Ka (translation- Uncle Scott) invited us to come to the Kimple farm where he and the kids were camping. We went for a few hours- and boy oh boy did Elisha enjoy himself. So far, only the chickens in his story books have been something real that he has seen and touched. (Well, cats and dogs- but not the other farm animals) So he was elated to see pigs, piglets, cows, calves, chickens, sheep, lambs, a horse and her new foal. After a few minutes watching us pet the animals, he was willing to try his hand at it, too. He was even waving to the cows and calves. He was pretty serious, taking in all this new stuff, but he really enjoyed it.

Mama really enjoyed this get away, too. The farm is all organic and it was nice to see the animals all roaming around, familiar with their owners and munching contentedly on the grass, looking lean and healthy. Thank you, Mozenas for your great tour, letting us watch as you did the chores and giving us the opportunity to experience your family's farm. It was an unforgettable evening! And thank you Uk-ka Ka for taking pictures to help us remember his first time at the farm.
