A Trip to the Farm

We went to the Southern Belle Farm in McDonough on Saturday. The kids had a ball! Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us! We went on a hayride, had duck races, watched a pig race, looked at (and talked to) the livestock, stood and cried in the corn crib, ate lots of goodies, and-- most importantly-- slid. It was a HUGE slide, but Levi didn't pause, he just went right down. Ellie Ruth did too. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, and we all had a good time.

Levi coming out of the slide. He must have gone 50 times. He absolutely LOVED it!

He enjoyed pumping the water to make his duck race.

Finally, we decided to let Ellie Ruth try. She took the steps one at a time-- she was ready. She didn't hesitate a moment, and you could hear her giggling all the way down. She absolutely flew down since she laid down on her descent.

Gran caught her at the bottom while Pop Pop captured the moment on camera.

As we were leaving, we let go of Ellie Ruth's hand for about three seconds and turned around to find her on the treacherous steps. She obviously wasn't ready to go-- nor was she afraid to just go by herself if nobody wanted to play anymore!!!

Gran ran to the rescue to help her up the rest of the way since she obviously wanted to slide just one more time.

Since Miss Priss thought she could do it alone, we let her. Nobody caught her at the bottom, and she tumbled into the hay, which she LOVED! She was ready to go again. We thought that was enough excitement, though, and we left!!
