To get a break from our suburban life, we headed to the country and went back to my home town for a quick visit. On Saturday, my mom got a fun idea and all 10 of us loaded into 2 cars, and went to Froburg's. It is a fruit and vegetable stand. The kids LOVED it!! We got to walk around the grounds and see orange trees and strawberry patches.
Grandma Cissy took some time from chasing the boys to stand by the orange trees with the girls.
Big Daddy found a sausage stand, and as you can see the
men were very interested!
Here is Clarence with Cooper and Jon with Cylas. I'm not sure who was having more fun... the dads or the boys?
We did a lot of playing outside. Here are the boys taking a break from basketball!!
The girls got the idea to be pirates...??? Not too sure where that came from!! But, they played with almost no fighting and they made "treasure maps". Here, Grandma Cissy holds the secret map while the girls give their best "Aarrgghhh!"
Clarence fired some chicken-fried-venison that was absolutely fabulous!! He also made some fried green tomatoes... the kids were fighting the adults for that last bite!! Big Daddy grilled shrimp... oh-so-delicious!! Grandma Cissy made her famous beef stroganoff... that didn't last long!! Jon grilled anything he could get his hands on! Needless to say,..
all weekend long, we ate and ate and ate and ate!!!
Luckily, we "exercised" by playing croquet. Here is Big Daddy giving lessons to Cortheye!
We got a visit from the ice cream truck and I learned that I am a half-decent poker player!! Probably because I was a lot riskier with
match sticks than actual money! Got to see Baby Ally!! Very beautiful!!
It was a GREAT weekend... we all got to relax and we had a very good visit!!
