Country Bumpkins and Pumpkins

This past weekend the guys were kind enough to let us enjoy one last weekend at the country before rifle season starts! And whenever my family gets together, it is never a small affair! It originally started as a few of us thinking about going up for the day, and it ended up turning into a full blown family event, our First Annual Cousins Pumpkin Carving Party!!! Dad and Chad were kind enough to head up to Navasota the night before and get the place mowed and started cooking at 6am the next morning….ribs, chicken, and sausage….yum. Everyone else gathered at lunch time and with every arrival came more kids, more food, more goodies, and more pumpkins!!! We enjoyed watching the kids run and play, ride the four wheelers, dirt bikes, and fish. Dad also filled his trailer with hay and took us all on a hay ride around the property! After lunch we all carved our pumpkins, it was a sight! An event that was originally planned just for the kids, turned into an awesome day for all ages. The adults seemed to enjoy the day just as much as the kids, we laughed and reminisced about growing up and spending so much time at the country property and talked about our baths in the tank, our Easter egg hunts, our luxurious accommodations in the trailer, and the time Amy almost got stampeded by cows! We have so many memories at that place and it was so special to start new memories with our next generation.
