4th on the Farm....

We went down South for the 4th of July holiday....drove down to southern Virginia to see Rob's parents and spend time on his cousin Kelly (and her husband, Gary)'s farm. It was wonderful.....the boys were without video games....they baled hay and rode horses...we enjoyed Kelly's amazing food and hospitality....we watched a baseball game....a hillbilly beauty pageant....and the best display of fireworks. We loved it all.....good food, good people, good times!


Oliver, Jolly (Oliver's buddy), Miller and Weston storing the hay in the barn.



Uncle Gary, Weston and Miller taking a break...


Gary drinkin' some of that Mormon Moonshine...(water)

A visit with Meme and Pops wouldn't be complete without a few games of Mahjong...

The Pulaski Mariners were playing....lovely Ginny Ryanne got the fox(?) to pose with us...


Contestants for the Miss Hillbilly Pageant.....I think the lady with the black cowboy hat won...she had the best pig call and could spit her watermelon seed the farthest....


Meme and Miller enjoying the fireworks....

Jett, Rob, Weston and Miller visit with Meems..she's beautiful and sweet at 92!

We sure enjoyed having you and your beautiful boys for the holiday. Wish you could've stayed longer though! Anytime ya'll want to come up and live the 'simple life', come on over to VA. Keep in mind that the apples will be ready soon for applesauce. We love you and had such a good time at your place this weekend. The best Sunday I have had in a long time! Love, Mam
