A trip to the farm and a football weekend

Sorry it's been forever since my last blog. We have been really busy and our weekends have been packed. Here's a brief run down.

Last weekend we went to South Georgia. Bryan has family down there and it is always fun to go and visit. They own a farm. Yes, that's right, a real working farm. Audrey and Andy were there with Erica and Hailey so Bryce had a ball. The kids took off right after breakfast to play and we didn't see them again until lunch. They had fun riding the golf cart and four wheeler down the field road behind the house and gathering pecans for the grownups. We visited Tony and Bev's and Bryce got to see the horses and cows. Callie loved the cows. She would wave frantically at them and yell. She wanted so badly to go out and play with the big kids. She is really walking now and loves to be outside.

Callie...Thinking about the day when she can run and play with the big kids!!

A lazy afternoon spent fishing...Bryce and the girls

Uncle Jerry, Aunt Linda, Bryce and Callie. If you look behind them thru the trees you can see the fields where the kids played.

Yesterday I went to the UGA vs Auburn game in Athens (Bryan kept the kids at home). We tailgated, drank too much, and I actually went to the game (thanks to Jason and Jeff!!). Despite Auburn losing, it was a great day. I love tailgating. There's just something about being outside, eating yummy food, having a cold beer, and yelling for your favorite college team. There's nothing else like it. My cousin Danny (from NJ but in Vet school at UGA) and his dad were there (from NJ) and it made it even better. The north has its strong points but it doesn't come close to football in the south. I'd show you some pics of the day but when drinks start flowing at 10am you sorta forget that you have your camera with you!

Today we had dinner at my parents house with Danny and Danny. We spent the evening once again watching football...this time the Giants vs Cowboy game. I'm sorry to say the Giants lost. Yes...while I may go on and on about college football and the SEC I am still a yankee at heart and I still love the Giants.
