Farm Day

This past weekend we had a wonderful time up at Ben's family's farm. Katie, Jody, Natalie, Stephen, Bennett, Steele, Ben, Harper, and I all loaded up (in 2 cars, not 1!) Friday afternoon and headed up there (about an hour North of Mobile outside Chatom, AL).
Friday night it was pouring down rain, but we still managed to cook some dinner on the grill... chicken, pork tenderloin, rolls, and a yummy vegetable dish Katie made! The puppies quite enjoyed their time playing in the rain, and jumping all over each other.
Harper knows a command to "get on your rug" when we want him to stay put. His rug is typically by the door in our house, where he hangs out in the house. Well, at the farm, he found his rug up on top of a crate on the porch and decided to climb up there where he thought he belonged. silly boy!
Saturday was SUCH the lazy day. The boys woke up at 5:15 AM to go turkey hunting, however it was still a bit drizzly. They ended up cooking us breakfast and THEN went hunting around 9. Us girls watched We Are Marshall and lounged around on the couch. After lunch the 3 boys and the dogs went fishing out on the lake. Harper even went swimming for the first time, but mommy missed it so, no pictures of that!
Then Natalie, Bennett, Katie, and I took a ride around the property on the Bad Boy Buggy. We circled the lake a few times and even saw a deer! Bennett, somehow, fell asleep during the last half of the rough ride. He had been awake and cranky all morning but then decided it was happy time and then nap time on the dirt roads. Who knows with babies!?!?

Beautiful Baby Blues!

Precious puppy feet!

It was such a great time at a beautiful and relaxing place with best friends and family. But I have to say, I'm ready for the Beach now!
