Ranch Day

The weather has been just perfect here lately, we have been going to the park everyday, and having picnics outside, playing in the garden and riding the gator in the yard.  We have been covered in sunscreen and bug spray, popsicles and dirt, hose water and ketchup and everything else that you could possibly imagine- and its fantastic!

Yesterday was just lovely, we headed up to mom and dads in the middle of the day and met Jeff, Lee and Lily up there.  We had a nice little lunch and just hung around outside- everyone enjoying my company....

After lunch and naps we wandered over to the neighbors house.  They have a fantastic little farm going with horses, chickens, turkeys, ducks, cats, dogs and even a donkey.  Their pond is filled with catfish that come to the surface when you feed the ducks, its great.  Hutson had a great time, he loves being outside and more importantly, he loves animals.

Jeff and Lily eating lunch... Lily likes to scoop ketchup straight into her mouth...

a little baby turkey... or duck or chicken, I can't quite remember.

Tomorrow we go to the ranch to start Wednesdays with Papa.  As summer is quickly approaching I need to start planning low-cost activities to keep Hutson occupied all summer.  With my mom traveling during the week again and Jerry is usually gone on Wednesdays, what a perfect day to spend with Papa.  I'm sure we will play outside, get dirty, do some work, have picnics, maybe take a field trip or two to the neighbors to play with the animals, hit up the North Texas Zoo, so many possibilities.  Hutson is already excited, all night he has been saying 'papa morrow?'

Maybe I will have a Wednesday edition of the blog called 'Adventures with Papa'... hmmm stay tuned.
