Going on a Hayride!

For some reason, I kept saying this all day to the rhythm of "Going on a bear hunt", which by the way I cannot remember. If any of you do, I would be so happy to know, because repeating "going on a bear hunt" over and over and not actually knowing where we are going just isn't that much fun. :)
Back to the reason for this post...every few years, Kim and Clint invite us out to their family property and we do a hayride and ride 4 wheelers over Thanksgiving... SO MUCH FUN! It has become one of my favorite family traditions. This year, we got to ride out and get up close and personal with the moo cows and the deer.

Jayboy LOVED the cows, and Ella wanted nothing to do with them. We were excited to see a little tiny baby one and kept pointing at it, but all Jay kept saying was how he liked the "Big one!" I assumed that being so close to the cows would either freak Lila out or she would want to touch them. Actually, she didn't react either way. She could have cared less about them. We had a great time roasting smores, riding the 4 wheelers, checking out the old cemetery on the land, and Michael and I even went and collected old cow bones for the dogs. Speaking of, poor Chloe tried her hardest to follow along behind us, but when we got to the cows we figured we should put her up with us in case one got after her. We knew she wouldn't be able to get away with her old legs. :(
I don't have a picture of 4 wheel ridin' this year, but here is a picture of me and Michael 2 years ago. I was about 13/14 weeks pregnant with Lila in this picture.


We had a great time and we look forward to the one next year!
Here is part of the gang ready to ride.


Note Jay and Lila fighting over the football!

Gdog doing what he does best: SLEEPING!





Grandmother and her 2 youngest grand kids

I couldn't help but laugh at this:


After a long day out playing, we headed back to visit with Michael's parents. Lila fell asleep about oh, point 5 seconds after we got in the car. After we put Lila to bed, Mamaw and Papaw were kind enough to watch BG while My mom, Karen, Michael and me went to SEE A MOVIE!! I must say, that is one perk for us to go home...FREE BABYSITTER! We don't feel too guilty about it because we know it gives the grandparents time to visit with the younguns. The other perk is that movies are cheaper in Morristown too! We saw Four Christmas's. It was cute and it was nice to get out. Michael LOVES to go watch movies and now that we have 2 small children it just doesn't happen very often. :( Tomorrow we have another day of family eating with Michael's parents. We get to see Rileigh, who we haven't seen in almost a year, and Graham gets to meet her for the first time. I am also anxious to see her and Lila play together now that they are both up running around and into everything!
