Road Trip!

Last week, I took the boys to Conover (not exactly a "roadtrip" per se) for a few days to spend some time with Bebe & PopPaw. Ben was finishing up a Property Management class he's taking, so with him being tied up from 6-10pm every Monday & Wednesday for a month, I was eager to jet somewhere I could get some backup!

Monday we just relaxed around the house, took the golf cart for a spin, played at the park and just hung out, and snuck in an afternoon nap which was nice!

Tuesday morning, we met Dad up at the Lutheran Home and spent some time with MawMaw. That afternoon, PopPaw took Jackson fishing for the first time, and he CAUGHT as fish! What are the chances? Mom has it on video but I'll try to get a snapshot to show...After about 10 minutes of fishing, Jackson discovered that he could climb on the golf card, which ended up entertaining him for at least 45 minutes.


Wednesday morning, we headed over to Bob & Martin's farm to check out their horses & farm life. Jackson LOVES going out there and I was excited to see it too. In the past, Jackson has been too intimidated of the horses to sit on one, but today he wanted to show off for Mommy and hopped right up. However, the highlight of the trip for him was getting to climb up the horse ring fence. About 12' tall -- give me a heart attack!






Mom & I hit up several consignment shops in Hickory on our way home and I was able to get the boys some cute fall/winter items.

Jackson's heading back to Conover at the end of this week, but he's going solo this time...and he is so excited!
