So I decided at the last minute, last Friday morning that we were gonna go home after all. I've said for the past 10 or so years that I wanted to go back for the festival and had mentioned it to D. So one thing lead to another and we were fortunate enough to be able to go.
Zach had to get his face painted...what do you mean, "of what?" a FLAG of course!
...This is the horse Chris, Patrick and Zach rode...
...this is the horse that almost threw Chris, Patrick and Zach off! Long story short, we were ending the little ride thru town, talking about how nice and quiet it was...coming out of an alley and the truck turning into the alley in front of us didn't see us as he was BACKING OUT!!! ...yep, backed right into the horse! All I could do was grab the boys and think about jumping out! The horse rared up just enough so the truck bumped the harness and not her...THANK GOD. I had goose-bumps I was so scared! Anywho...everyone was fine...just another added adventure for our trip! ;)
When we first got home, we went to Backbone Rock...kinda dark once we got back in the woods...so as tuff as my boys think I am...I was ready to go soon! haha
Of course, they were ready to go on a bear hunt! ...I just didn't wanna find a real one!...
...This is why I'm glad I have boys! No matter WHERE we go, someone ALWAYS has to GO!
...wait! zach says "what's that?!"...
The real reason we came to Backbone was to hunt for crawdads...didn't find any this time, but Patrick found 2 when we came back!
...and Zach had a good time finding snails!...
...posing by a pretty purple flower for mommie!
...we came back in the afternoon and had much better luck with the crawdads! Patrick found 3!
..."Zach, don't go in too far...I don't want you to fall in!"
...oops...typical. just typical.
...strike a pose!...
If you zoom in on this pic, I think it looks JUST like me and one of my moods!!! It cracked me up!! ...and of course made me so proud...haha ...This is White's Mill...I used to go fishing here when I was a kid...
We went to TCBY on our last day. I've never seen the color Zach got! Looks just like playdough!
overall, it was a great trip. Always is. And I never wanna come home. Coming back to reality sucks. I wonder what it'd be like if we moved back. Part of me knows nothing would be the same...part of me wonders 'what if...'
