The Clan arrived Friday night, so we just spent the evening visiting and loving on Baby Graham. The kiddos also think jumping off the old trunk onto the air mattress is the best thing ever!
Saturday we loaded up and headed to College Grove.
A Big Thanks goes out to Mr. Poole and Diana for hosting a great “Open Farm” where we petted miniature donkey’s(one that was only 3 days old), and roasted marshmallows.
The kids also enjoyed the face painting and donkey rides. We even had a great surprise in getting to see Lila's friend, Will. They are really checking each other out!
After driving around most of Williamson and Maury County, we made a stop at Ring Farm where went on a non-hay hayride. Yes, I said NON-HAY. There was a ride, just no hay...only benches. Here is Lila during the scary part of the ride. (Check out the mullet.)
The best part of this stop would have to be the home-made slide. It was this black bumpy tubing that looks like you would use it on a construction site. To go down it, we sat on potato sacks. So Fun! To I must say, I am one who loves roller coasters and anything thrilling, but I even let out a little scream going down! Lila had a big time. However,the highlight for her was getting to sit and play in the rocks as she watched everyone else come down. She would let out a big clap and "YEAH!!" each time someone new appeared at the bottom. Her other favorite thing was "sorting" all the pumpkins and gords. One by one she moved each of them to a different pile. What a good helper! :)
Although the trip went fast, we had a great time. I was pooped on Sunday after everyone left, but not enough to miss out on the beautiful fall weather. Michael, Lila, Graham, and I loaded up and went to Gentry's Farm. Unfortunately, we did not get to stay too long, but Lila had a blast. I actually brought my camera, but left the battery on the charger at home. Figures! I did take pictures with our video camera, but I haven't looked into how to download them yet.
Anyway, thanks for coming to visit Harrison's!
We actually don't have any company planned for this coming weekend, so it will be nice to spend it together as a family. Friday night we have a Halloween Party to attend. Yes, I will be leaving my 3 week old! AAHH! I haven't tried a bottle yet, so let's hope that works out. I still have no idea what we are planning to be, but I will be sure to post pictures. I know Michael is looking forward to just being able to relax. He was super busy last week with work and even had to spend the night away on a retreat. I was not too happy about that, as Graham has been having his fussy time after his late night feeding. That means around 11:30/midnight he is screaming and crying until 2 or so. Luckily, my mom was here from Monday until Friday. She was a huge help. I just told Michael he was not allowed to work late nights and have over night trips when our children are only 2 weeks old! I know he wishes that were not the case either. We are also gearing up for the big UT/BAMA rival game on Saturday. I am going to have to find a way to sneak the babies BAMA outfits on before big UT daddy sees. :) Stay tuned...
