4-Wheelin and Pumpkins...........

What a busy weekend I (we) had !!! I had been asked to go riding with Jerry AND the girls this past Saturday and so I was up, showered, and at their house by 6 that morning!! Upon my arrival, I was braiding 2 heads of hair, because Daddy doesn't braid !! After loading all our gear up, we headed out, stopped for breakfast, and then headed out into the wild, blue yonder.
Chloe and Olivia cheesin for me before we get started out on our long day.

Olivia and I discovered what we now know is a millipede.This bad boy was as big around as my index finger!!!
We went riding through numerous mudholes..... yes getting stuck!! Which is half the fun!!
Jerry knew he wasn't going to make it through this one, but didn't care! He loved every minute of it. The girls and I loved watching him get stuck too!!!!

At one point, we tipped over on my side! I Loved it!!
I was still in there while Jerry took this picture. I was laughing and wanted to do it again! The girls didn't think the same way I did. We were all fine and the girls were still talking about it on Sunday. I do have to mention that my right hip is slightly sore due to the roll bar on my side. It served it's purpose by keeping me in the Ranger.

Me and Chloe (yes, I am wearing Camo....... watch out Gander Mtn.)

Chloe and her Daddy.............

Me, Chloe and Olivia killing time on a break!!

We didn't get back to the house until 8:00. We were tired and hungry. Jerry's dad (Papaw) and brother Scott were there, so the girls were excited to tell them about us flipping sideways in the Ranger !!! Of course I had to show my pictures too! I was glad to meet his Dad and brother. We spent the rest of the evening relaxing and talking.

I was invited to come back over to Jerry's on Sunday, not sure what we were going to do, just knowing we could spend more time together. Now that I have met the girls, I think that Jerry and I will be able to see each other more. I enjoyed being around them and have a pretty good feeling they felt the same. I was showered with hugs and kisses as I left last night.

Jerry, the Arteest, drawing an intricate design for the pumpkin. I wasn't sure he could pull off the carving from his artwork. Of course I was wrong. I underestimated his carving ability.

Scooping out Pumpkin Brains..................

The finished product................... ooooohhhhh aaahhhhhhh.

Chloe demonstrates what she would look like as a pumpkin!

Good times, good times............ as I said earlier, I had fun and know Jerry and the girls did too. I am happy and living in the moment, for the first time in 37 years.
