Parade and Cows

We loaded up the van for a weekend down south and this trip we loaded two extra bodies for the ride down and back. Cousins Derian and Hannah were getting to go over the river and through the woods with us to Grandma’s house, Grandpa’s too. All four grandkids spent a night together with just Gma & Gpa and were very excited. The ride down was sure different, more conversations in the back seats than we are use too and some of the discussions were funny. The older all the kids get the more fun they sure seem to become, purposeful funnies from them.
On Saturday they went to town for the parade and were lucky that the sun shone on them for at least that part of the day. They all had little sandwich bags for caring the candy that they picked up but those just were not large enough. The gentlemen that were standing behind them yelled and hollered that candy needed to be thrown their way so all four kids hauled quite a load. Oh, and I hear that Cole has been recruited into the Marines now and someone tried to get him to promise the Army but they were told he was already spoken for.

The twins had a great time with Gma & Gpa, ending with the new Santa Clause movie. They fell asleep as Oma drove them down to Rachelle and Connie’s for the rest of the weekend. Worn out for sure!
We took a walk to Connie’s folks place down the road to feed, pet and ride the cows. The kids were excited and sure seem to enjoy walking down there more than I can get them to do at home. I guess country living suits them.
The apples were red and the kids were throwing them on the ground for the cows, well Jo’s boots were red too…see where I’m going with this? She had a couple cows try and eat her boots right off her feet. She got a little scared but they only gummed her boots before figuring out they didn’t taste good and she laughs about it now. We learned that red rubber boots are not the best choice to wear into cow field.

COUNTING DOWN TO TURKEY!!!
