Brotherly Love

Jack is so well suited to this big brother role.  The caring for Carl aspect as well as policing him.
Here's Jack sharing his milkshake.  I know it doesn't look it here, but Carl was very happy to partake, he's just concentrating on using the straw.  :)

Hot Walking

Ready to go!
Carl's upset that we're not gone yet, once his shoes are on he want to be moving!
Carl's first popsicle.  We figured something cold would make the walk more enjoyable.





Jack was super excited to see this really low flying plane.
Oh no!  Dada dropped his popsicle!
Carl didn't quite grasp the concept of his treat, he was sitting in a puddle of drool & syrup by the time we got home.

Driving Home

Didn't realize we were so close to Florida!
Andy...
We have come a long way my friends, less than 10 minutes to visit Jupiter!
Whoa, that cold medicine must've been pretty strong, we crossed an ocean and we're now coming into Paris!
Gumby
Apparently the beautiful mountain from Virginia was moved to Pennsylvania!
Riding into a storm
Raiiiiiiiin...


Just things that went through my head while on the road.  I always have a running commentary going about the road signs.  I usually take pictures of interesting signs, I need to start posting them.  I think they're funny at least...

Country Boy

Helping build a chicken house
These holes aren't going to dig themselves!
Whew!
Hard work!
Is that deep enough?
I'm helping Dada!
What have you got Dada?
Lookit all the mud!
Getting these boots nice and broke in, bout time to start looking for some new ones!


Gotta see if there are any new additions to the pool

What do you see Jack?
Hold it so I can get a picture Jackie!  This is his "I really don't want to do this Ma" face.  Matthew is in the background looking for "nature" to catch.
Aunt Donna & Uncle Glenn's house
Backyard
Granma & Granpa's house to the left there.
Check out that snazzy shirt!  By the time we all left, the garage was open in the middle with single stacks of boxes along each side.  Woo-hoo!

July 4th

Hay ride!
From the lap picture, gotta be sneaky with the elusive Uncle Matthew...

Why do I always want to photograph other photographers?
The "baby" water area
I know it doesn't look like it here, but Carl had a whole lot of fun.  This was near the end of their play time.
Horseshoes!  Turned out I was pretty good, especially since the last time I played was at the farm in Rockdale about 20 years ago!
It was cousins vs uncles, look at the concentration!  Gotta beat those old folks...
Come on Shelby!
Gotta beat those uppity kids...

Hi Mama!
Emma was a little wary of the pool, bet all those rowdy boys didn't help.
Jordan & Matthew were playing some soccer.  As long as you keep moving the fire ants leave you alone.

Carl did pretty good at holding his own with the big boys.

Almost looks like Carl was caught mid-sneeze here.
That evening after we had all been inside for a bit, Uncle Glenn went over this way to check on something and saw a big ol copperhead in those weeds right there.  Ahhh!  Glad we were noisy enough that it stayed away from the babies.  We had a most excellent feast of BBQ but I was way too busy eating to take any pictures.  Probably for the best, it would only make you jealous.  :)
