Visiting Doc and Grandmama

Our First Family Trip!

Kyle's Grandparents live in Tennessee. We decided to take a family trip and visit them. Lacey was finally old enough to try our first family trip! It was mid September 2012 when we went for our visit.


The ride there was interesting and had it's exciting moments. Between listening to the same  barbie movie play over and over, the kids fussing, restroom breaks, and let's don't forget that on the way Kyle decides to take a nap while driving... yes, this really happened. Scared me to death! So from then on I was the driver to and back home. (And for any more future trips!)

"Are we there yet?" asked LauraBeth.

Was the most asked question of the trip to any where we had to go.

Lacey just sat back and relaxed for the most part. Talked to Kyle and myself about what I really don't know since at this stage she was babbling a lot.

We finally arrived and of course we see Cows...

 to my children's amazement this was awesome! The smell.. not so much. Lacey starts saying "Moo! Moo! about a million times, I laughed the first few but I got a headache after the 100th time.

I hadn't realized how much farm land you had to drive through to actually get to their home. It took us about 10 minutes down a long dirt road. The view along the way was nice.

Going down the dirt road we passed a lot of rolled bales of hay... then I saw something moving out my window. What could it be? Was it? IT WAS! A family of deer. Even I got excited to see this.

I got out of my car and crept up to the fence to get this picture. They were both at full alert and were looking right at me. Then you hear "LOOK! Mom It's BAMBI!"

Needless to say I never got another good look at them.. Here they are running away!

Meet The Great GrandParents

Papa "Doc" Corley

Grandmama

We were greeted by a new member of the Corley Family, a teacup poodle named "Bo".

After church on Sunday, we took photos of the girls with their Great Grandparents. Doc is a pastor of a church in Tennessee.

Amish Country

When we were through with pictures, we decide to take the kids driving through the Amish community that was close by. I had never been to one and wanted to see how things were different. I thought the kids would enjoy the ride too... maybe even take a nap ( I hoped). With it being a Sunday, we were not able to see much. However I did get a few photos. We found out that Saturday would be a better day to go see these people and how they live. We would have to plan that on our next trip back.

This is one of the dirt roads that leads into just one of the many communities we came across.

These horses were beautiful to me and I had to snap a shot! 

R&R 

We all took a nap when we got back before making our long drive back home to Alabama. LauraBeth thought her Daddy needed her princess covers to make him warm and cozy.

We had a great time and are going back for another visit.
