We recently made a trip south to Alabama to visit family. Mimi loves doting on her great grandchildren and we all love enjoying warm hospitality, family gatherings, and roving farmlands and forests.
Just down the road is Tannehill Inronworks Historical State Park. I visited there many times as a child and looked forward to showing the kids a few places. One in particular was the Grist Mill. My aunt took a great photo of me in front of the mill when I was just a few years older than Grace and it still hangs in Mimi's house. Someday I might put a copy of that up for Throwback Thursday.
We also hit a geocache or two!!!
The Farm...
We take the kids to zoos all the time, but the closest we get to domesticated animals is generally the petting zoo at the Puyallup Fair. Getting up close to live large animals while you are in the same fenced area is not a regular occurence for Sam or Grace, and the cows and week old calf held their attention for some time. Thanks again to their Great Aunt for giving us the keys to the Polaris. We even gave the kids some driving lessons the same way their Grandmuhie learned; an open field and no traffic, sans clutch these days of course.
And then, the Polaris turned into a jungle jim... Kids.
Later folks.
