Farm Weekend!

We headed out Thursday night to travel to VA to meet Nana & Grumps for a day before we headed to NC for our friends' Cassie & Blake's wedding. After a long drive with a few stops, including our first time at a rest stop (where only Jay rested because as soon as we stopped Nola woke up so she was crawling all over me and I was afraid a big scary man was going to bang on our window!) we finally made it to the farm at 4 am. Of course Nola was wide awake so Nana & Grumps played with her while Jay & I got some sleep. After a few hours of shut eye we were off to start our big day!
First stop was the pumpkin patch for some apples, potatoes, tomatoes, and pumpkins. I learned that we are really getting gyped at the grocery for our produce!

Nola had trouble picking out her pumpkin!

"This looks like my size but it doesn't quite resemble a pumpkin?!"

After those windy roads and mom almost throwing up from car sickness, we decided to honor our tradition...ice cream at Nester's (where you can still charge groceries old school). Nola got her first flinstones orange push up. I wish I could have gotten her on video. She was sucking her lips so loud we were cracking up!

Next, back for pictures at the farm!

"Say cheese!"

"Ooh what's this? I LOVE gadgets!"

"Alright a hayride! This is cool!"

Friday night we had fried shrimp for dinner. I can always get a taste of home when I'm with my parents! YUM! YUM!

Saturday morning we looked out the window and the cows had come down so we ran outside to feed them. Unfortunately, my camera battery died so we'll have to wait for Nana to get home to get the rest of the cow pics. Nola absolutely LOVED the cows. She petted them and kept trying to get back to them when we were walking away. She must have said and waved Bye 1,000 times. It was so cute!!!

Saturday night Jay and I went to the wedding. It was at the Speedway racetrack and I thought it was really cool! I'm not even into racing, at all, but we got a tour of the VIP sections and the ballroom where the wedding was was beautiful. However, after dinner, Jay & I spent pretty much the whole time watching the LSU game at the VIP club bar and we made friends with the bartender. GEAUX TIGERS! What a game!
Sunday morning came too fast and boy were we glad we had babysitters. I kept saying "I'm never drinking again!" Nola wanted to share her breakfast with us and as you can see, I didn't sleep much longer!

"Uh oh, how'd they get there?"

After a very long drive back we made it at about 11 pm last night. It was after midnight when we got in bed and the alarm went off so fast! I had school and Jay flew to Ohio for a conference this week. We miss him already!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT WEEKEND!
We all had a blast & can't wait to come back!

Here are a few bonus pics from dinner tonight!
