Down on The Farm

We enjoyed a sort of last-minute, quick visit to Moultrie this weekend. 

Luke's Aunt Mary called us on Thursday night to tell us about a train show in Albany on Saturday and Sunday.  Luke has been wanting to go down and get a load of pinestraw for our house and we have not seen our Moultrie family since Thanksgiving, so we decided to drive down on Saturday.  As spur of the moment as it gets for the Lucas family!

Nana and Aunt Kathy met us for lunch at Barber's when we got into town!  We love some Barber's sweet tea with extra ice and a steak sandwich "all the way"!  :)

The girls did a little shopping on the square in Moultrie after lunch and made a visit to the cemetary to look at the new flowers on Grandaddy and Grandmama's gravesite.  We had fun laughing and catching up.

 

The guys went out to Jon and Selena's pond house to try and shoot some ducks and have some man time.

Saturday night, Uncle Randy and Aunt Mary had us all over for a steak supper at their house.  The food was delicious and Trey and Ambry had a ball hanging out with Taylor and Tucker.  The best part of the night was all of us sitting around the big dining table after we ate, telling jokes and stories and reminiscing about Grandaddy and Grandmama.

 

After a big country breakfast Sunday morning, we spent the rest of the day outside. 

Trey and Ambry had BB gun practice.  (It was a sad day for a few little birds!)  Nana gave them a can of silver spray paint and let them spruce up one of the pasture gates.  Luke cut up fallen limbs for firewood.  The kids big and small played on the tire swing and we soaked up the South Georgia sunshine.  We had so much fun we never even made it to the train show!  

 The famous tire swing!  It got lots of use this weekend.  Check out that backdrop... see why we love it here?!!!  :)

 Some rubber gloves, a can of silver spray paint, and freedom to paint the pasture gates = FARM FUN!

 So beautiful... pieces of cotton that the wind blew up into the pecan trees.

 Lukey and his mama share a love for the farm and its landscape.  They were checking out the pecan trees Luke planted two years ago and deciding where to put the new ones. 

 Mother and son.

Tire swing antics!

We made the most of our short time together. 

It's always special down on the farm!
