Brian and Mischele's visit to Starkville

Anthony had a great time visiting with Brian and Mischele this weekend. Anthony kept Brian on his toes....come play in my room Brian......catch me Brian......go hide Brian... Anthony digging up dirt.

Having a good time

A little 4 -wheeler time.......or as Anthony calls it 4-walla!!

Anthony looks more and more like Tony I think his hair is getting darker too!

What fun!

Our good family friends, David and Susan Mencer, were in Winona and drove over to visit for a couple of hours with their kids....wow, how they have grown!!

Our next door neighbor also came over with their kids...they had such a good time...and the weather was perfect!!

This is the only alligator we saw on our visit

Enjoying the museum

Looking out at the water....

We went to the Wildlife Refuge today...we walked the trails....toured the museum....and had a picnic by the water.

It was a little overcast but the kids didn't mind it at all.....they just wanted to see the animals!! The group in front of us on one of the trails saw a snake sunning on some branches but it swam away before we got a chance to see it.

We had a great time and lunch was great. Mary Kathryn you outdid yourself with your veggie dip...and the cheese spread was to die for!

Florida

We just spent the last two weeks in Ocala, FL. We had a great time visiting and so glad that Anthony and I decided to join Tony. Tony had to go for work and we went for FUN and SUN!! Not sure you can see just how dirty Anthony's legs and feet are but playing on the farm is a hard and dirty job and he sure did have a great time doing it!! Here is Freddie and Anthony eating peanuts together.

Tony and Anthony swimming in Freddie and Dori's pool

Dori and I took Anthony to the Butterfly Museum in Gainesville, FL. It was so pretty...butterflies were flying all around us. Anthony didn't know what to think about them..he liked looking at them and the fish but didn't want them to get too close.

Dori, Anthony and I went to the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. We got to ride on a boat to the park and saw lots of different animals. They had an underwater viewing area that Anthony did not want to go look at until we got him down the stairs and he saw all the fish then he didn't want to leave that area.

Here we are at our friend Emily's house playing with her twin boys.

We decide to break the 10 hour drive up on the way back so we stopped and spent Saturday and Saturday night at Panama City Beach.

Look at this handsome stud on the beach!

Building sandcastles...

Having a great time running on the beach

Dancing around the pool and Hot Tube

Watch out that wave is going to get you!

Look at that daddy! There was a big waterfall at the pool.

Splashing me with water

WEE...

Having too much fun on the beach

Ready..set...go...

After a hard day playing on the beach and by the pool we went next door at ate at Hooters!!

Sunday we spent a few more hours between the beach and pool before we had to pack it up and head home.

We had a great trip but we are all so glad to be back home. Anthony wanted to play with his toys and sleep in his own bed.

Thanks Freddie and Dori for letting us stay on your farm. We really enjoyed getting to visit with all of our friends in Ocala. Miss all of you and hope to see you again soon.

Pappy and KK Visit's

Grandma KK and Pappy came to visit last weekend we had a great time. It rained all weekend but still had a great visit. Here they are watching a movie in Anthony's room.

Coloring on the floor

We LOVE Mickey Mouse!!

One day last week Anthony looked up at this shelf I have on the wall in his bedroom and said he wanted his horse - well there are several so we went through them and found the one he wanted. I asked him what the horses name was and he said Carlos. I have no idea where that came from but he says it so clear - Carlos! Here they are watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Anthony and Claire sharing a snack from the goodies KK and Pappy brought.

Our Neighbors

Here are a couple of videos of Anthony and our Neighbors riding on all the John Deere Toys!
