Hi there - what a busy weekend! Friday I got to go on the field trip to the Birch Run Wilderness Park with the kids. It was soooo cold! The park was a lot nicer than the last time I went (about 10 years ago)! The kids loved the lions and tigers. They had all kinds of animals! I left there around 12:30pm partly because of the cold and the teens went to play putt-putt and the younger ones were just playing on the playground the rest of the time. I met Jeremy in town and we got some weed mat for the garden and went home to plant the garden. We planted most of it before getting the kids from school at 3pm. Then planted the rest as I had help with the baby. The girls made cookies and left for a youth activity at 5pm. I watered the garden by hand, then planted flowers in my pots and next to the shed. Jeremy tilled up my flower garden out by the road and I planted some seeds there as well. The kids were having a blast playing outside.
Saturday, we did more yard work, uncovered the pool to get that going, and got things ready for the big picnic in Millington at our property with family. I went to a beautiful wedding at church at 2pm while Jeremy took the boys out to Millington to get things ready and mow. After the wedding, the girls and I went to the property. Jeremy's mom, Len, sister and her girls, brother and his family were all coming for a picnic. I invited Heather and Brian, but they didn't come. It was a spur of the moment thing, but was a lot of fun! The dogs all enjoyed each other and the kids were in seventh heaven playing on the go cart, dirt bike, and sand pit. We had to send Amber out to get them when it started getting dark! We had a campfire and smores and I left to come home at 12:00 midnight!
Sunday morning, went to church and then left to go and visit my dad and Teresa up north. The kids had fun. The mosquitos were bad so we didn't stay outside for too long. We went for a short walk up the road and down by the river. But, we visited and watched a movie I remember my dad taking us to see when I was about 6yrs old called "The Song of the South". He found it on DVD at a flea market. I've never seen it for sale anywhere! I remember my dad laughing in the theater at the laughing place! We had pizza from Shananjacks (very good) and Dad showed Brooke a few things on the guitar before we left at 9pm to come home. Today, I am going out to the property to see if Jeremy, Pastor and Jack want any lunch, then will come home to relax a bit and get things ready for tomorrow. It looks like rain today! I wonder if anyone will shoot a turkey out there today?! Yesterday morning, I went out to feed our chickens/turkeys and had my PJ pants on - they have flowers on them. I quickly knew they were the wrong choice when the turkeys started eyeballing the flowers on them! They can hurt now when pecking at things! They are cute- they follow you everywhere! I will post some pictures later today, but have to get going! Have a great day!
Chris
