The farm

Ben and I went to Ganyard Farm today to check out some tractors and corn!!

We took a hayride around the farm Ben didn't care so much about the hayride...just about the tractor and who was driving it!

The big pit of corn! Ben had a great time playing in the corn! And he got to see some cows eat the corn too so it was a win-win for us all the way around.

Walking in the corn maze.

Picking cotton...

Riding on the tractor...it was the 1st thing we had to do and he rode the tractor for about 20 minutes!! We had such a fun day!!

Our Day with Thomas!

We went to see Thomas a few weeks ago at the Train museum in Spencer. What a fun time we had...I think we might have to go back even if Thomas isn't there!!

Jesus and the B.I.B.L.E

Our weekend adventure

We went to the Museum of Life and Science this weekend. Ben got to ride on the train! I think he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't say a thing. It was pretty funny. He had a big time though.

After the museum we had dinner at Satisfaction Pizza. Ben loves his pizza...as you can tell by the pictures!!

Vacations!

We have been away from home on vacation for so long I don't know if Ben knows what it's like to be home with nothing to do!

Our latest trip was to Myrtle Beach for the 4th of July! We had such a great time. Ben loves the beach and is NOT afraid of the water at all. He had a great time playing in the sand with his trucks!
He also loves some ice cream :) If you can't tell.

Ben was so funny, we told him we were going to the beach and he immediatly asked for Matthew...think they are buddies for life!

Looking for shells with Daddy!

Orr 1st trip to the beach didn't turn out quite as planned...as you can see from the pictures!

Doing good...just putting our feet in....

Now his booty, playing with some sand....

Oh yea...now the rest of his body, good thing we had a bathing suit....RIGHT!

SOAKED!!!

The week before we went to the beach we spent in TN visiting Lainey, Papa, Granny Powell and all of our friends!

This was a shot of the kids after our fun day at the Learning Center in M'boro! It was so good to see Candie and Jenny and their wonderful kids...Brody, Macie, Jayden and sweet baby Ruby! I think all the kids were glad Ruby came so they could eat her puffs!!

Ben loved the fire truck at the Learning Center...think he could have spent the whole time driving!

Ben and the plastic strawberry he was trying to eat...only Ben!



A few days before our trip to TN we went to West Point Lake in Georgia with Gammy, Aunt Wendy, Uncle G, Matthew and Caroline. We had the best time! Got to see part of a Braves game and all of a crazy storm!! And we spent a day on the lake just having fun. We also took a trip to Ft. Benning to see what had changed. The most disturbing change was the loss of the Peppercorn and Ivy. That was the best buffet we had ever had...I can still taste the fried chicken and banana pudding!!

Ben took a turn driving the boat!

Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream!!!

Playing at the lake beach with Matthew and Caroline. Ben had the best time hanging out with his cousins. There wasn't much he wouldn't do if Matthew was doing it!!

Watermelon...check out that belly!!

Richard and Ben at the Braves game.

Running the kiddie bases...think Ben had fun once he figured out what it was all about...then he didn't want any one to run with him!
