'round here

Here are just a few pictures taken over the past few weeks. We have had a blast while keeping busy! Last weekend Matt's work had a company picnic at the State Fair. It was HOT but we made the most of it. Carter had a blast trying out some of the rides but what I think he liked even more was the Riley Kids Park! There he got to try his hand at several farm activities like collecting eggs, planting crops, harvesting, tractor riding and even milking a cow. Well, it was all just pretend but he LOVED it...and I loved that it was educational! Always an added bonus!

Love the way he is sporting his hat...he flipped it around to get closer to the cow!


Collecting eggs from the chickens which immediately reminded Carter that we are way over due for our trip to visit chic on the farm.





Then we spent some time at Nana and Papaws cooling off!



We also enjoyed a little trip to Brown County in the Bronco!




Carter climbed up here and said, "take my picture here" so of course I did and here it is!


Carter loves finger painting by the pond and this particular masterpiece was what Carter wanted to paint for Uncle Travis' 40th Birthday!

So that's what we have been up to! Hope everybody is enjoying their last few weeks of long, sunny days and flip flops!

Well, Carter could either be a really good looking farmer or another Picasso! Either way he will be great at it! He loves animals and he loves to craft, he actually loves just about everything!!
