We spent the weekend in Paris to celebrate Momma's birthday!
It was a quick trip and it rained quite a bit but we didn't let that hold us down!
The boys that love technology stick together! Uncle John let Pierce play on his hand held device all weekend!!
John, Dana, Brian and I did a quick visit to our NEW local brewery!! Perrylodgic Brewing! Randall Perry, the part owner... his mom and momma have been friends for years and still talk, about every week! We are so excited for them! It was so good. I am drinking "The Randall" here! :) If you are in Paris, stop by! :)

Then we went to Carmack's Fish Barn! It was so good and when we finished Papa bought some feed to feed the animals! ha!
Hellllllo! :)
Pierce jumped right in and fed them up a storm!
Reid just talked and danced at them!
He even played Peek A Boo with the Donkey!
Big nose! :)
Then cupcakes from Muddy's for Nona!
HAPPY DAY TO YOU, Nona!
Reid was so excited!
Singing and helping blow out the candles!

Sunday it quit raining long enough for us to go to the hog barns and "help" Uncle John, Aunt Dana and their crew "feed" and do some things! :)
Puddle jumping first!
Climbing in tractors, next!
OF COURSE there was Popsicle eating!!!
Reid toted some rocks to the big puddles!
THEN the "spanking spoons" came out! They aren't really spanking spoons, that is just what the boys called them! They have little bee bee's in them and they make racket to make the little piggies move where you want them too! We got to help Uncle John move some! It was the first time I'd seen them on the move like that and they were soooooo cute!
It was like a bunch of marbles! Especially with all the helpers! I'm sure John and Dana were like "LORD!" :)
Pierce did good!
:)
Then I stopped a group to have a photo shoot! :)
Reid wanted to pet one so bad!
Helping Uncle John and Aunt Dana feed!
Pierce feeding! He was so dirty by the time we left! It was awesome!!
Reid was watching the "window" go down so that a good breeze was coming through! Its really cool, when the barns get too hot, then the curtains come down and a breeze pumps through! It felt good!
Reid was feeding!
Mr Austin was helping Reid get it together and where to pour it!! Mr Austin got his work out, he would pick Reid up, put him in the pen, let him feed, then pick him back up and put him in the wagon! :) I didn't get one picture of Miss Taylor, Mr Austin's fiancee! She was there too! She is so sweet and so good to the boys! Mr. Austin is so good with the boys, usually Pierce is talking him to death but this time, he got to hang with Reid some. Pierce LOVES to ride in the tractor with Mr. Austin! He even said just a few weeks ago "Mr. Austin and Mr. Jerry, they are goooooooood tractor drivers!"
Reid got to ride in the feed to go from pen to pen!
Mr. Austin got to pull!
Ridin'!
Pierce started making designs with the feed! ha!
Uncle John caught one for Reid to FINALLY get to pet one!
Then it was more playing in the dirt! :)
Reid was "hitchin'" a ride with Pierce! The gator came zooming by soon after this picture!
What a fun weekend! Rain didn't keep us down! :)
We love you all so much!
Thank you Uncle John and Aunt Dana for letting us make your work time 3 times as long as it would take if we weren't there! :)
