Vaca on The Farm!

Everyone headed to Nana & Grumps' farm for a week in July so we could all be together! We had a house full of people but we had a GREAT time just relaxing (the guys worked hard) and hanging out!

This is the famous Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We always visited it growing up and we had to get our picture taken...so we kept the tradition alive! It was Jay and Nola's first time. We saw cloggers dancing (including Tripp and Nola) but Dave got those pics, the mill where they make fresh cornmeal and grits, candle dying, an ironsmith and much more.

"Oh yeah! Watch out! Here comes Big Guns!"

"My turn! My turn! I can do it!"

We celebrated the Wonder twins' 2nd birthday! They had a cupcakes, a piniata, and presents! They never get tired of singing to themselves!

(Check out my dad's shirt: "My Kids think I'm an ATM!" We gave it to him for Father's Day...isn't it funny!)

My mom's cousin lives across the street and some of her grandkids were in town so they came for the party!

"Yeah a new Kackkack! Thanks Aunt Sharon & Uncle Richard!"

Uncle Mikey & Aunt Brandi gave Nola a trunk full of dress up clothes.
Thank You!

The Princess is sleepy!

One afternoon we headed over to the creek to swim. The kids LOVED it! Mason & Jackson were skipping rocks while Tripp and Nola would run in and out of the water!

"Hey Mom, Look at my BIG rock!"

Nana & Grumps gave Nola & Tripp a ride on John Deere jeep for their birthday! At first they were a little scared but by the end Tripp could put it in reverse and drive around the whole lawn!

Thanks Grumps!

What do you have on a farm? CORN! Aunt Christy found the crowd pleaser and the kids spent hours playing in it! Great job Aunt Christy!

Even the big kids jumped in!

FUN TIMES!

Nola & Daddy on the tractor!

Swimming in the pool!

The last afternoon the kids made sure to do it hillbilly style. Hanging out on the front porch eating corn on the cob!

Thank you so much for a great time! Nola LOVED riding the four wheeler many times with her dad, feeding the cows, running around, swimming, and spending time with family. It was a nice surprise that my cousin Christy came with her boys and my grandparents, Grammie & Pipaw, came too! Thanks for the memories!
