Hannah was alittle tired at the beginning of this trip which amounts to be honery for all children. We worked hard to cheer her up for awhile, nothing seemed to work. We stopped at my favorite site for looking for arrowheads. After a few minutes Hannah decided to see what all the excitement was about. She finally wandered out to where I was . I showed her a few pieces of flint and pottery that had washed to the surface after last week's rain and she was hooked. She and I had a wonderful time. This picture was taken on the final stretch back to the camper, she was definitely enjoying her dad's company.
Once we were back at the "hunting camp" (named by Trip) we were ready for a fire. Duck was ready with a little diesel. Merritt was backing up. After playing mad scientist last year, he's not much on fire and explosions. Trip was excited. The entire time the fire was burning he was bringing moss, tree limbs, palm leaves, plastic, whatever to the fire. I promise you there was nothing left on the ground to burn within a 50 feet radius of that fire. He stayed so close for so long that he chapped his face pretty good.
This picture was taken just seconds after the one above. Diesel lights pretty fast. INSTANT HEAT.
Zelda was enjoying the heat. Once again we were invaded by Duck's family Lawrence, Paul, Buddy and his wife. It sure is nice when they are around cause I love hearing all their stories. We learned this weekend that their mother was 4'10" and still managed to raise 11 children.
This is see-sawing Goose Pasture style. It looks like a broken-arm waiting to happen. Luckily no one got hurt. You can spend a lot of money on toys but they usually have more fun with something homemade like this.
This is a rare photo that Sarah actually LET us take her picture.
