Hunt Club Farm

Yesterday we made our annual visit to Hunt Club Farm, (I think it will be our last more on that later) The kids had fun in the petting area, we petted goats, chased chickens and the like, saw horses, cows and Llamas to name a few, the kids played in the playground and we went on a hayride.

 After the hayride we visited the Pumpkin Patch and browsed through the pumpkins...the kids made their final picks and then it was time to go home.

It was a scorcher of a day, unseasonably hot, high 80s and after the cooler days last week we all felt the heat!
Why will this be our last year visiting Hunt Club Farm...we felt the price of entry was kinda high, $6 for each adult, which was okay, but $6 for little kids, come on thats kind of sad! It took us all of 10 minutes to do the petting zoo and if the kids had not stopped to play in the playground it would have taken us less time. 10 mins on the hayride which was a ride through the Hunt Club area and maybe not that long, we all left a little disatisfied for what we had gotten for out hard earned bucks! So next year we will find somewhere else to get our pumpkins!

Works for Treats

We have a new helper at our home and he works for treats!

Fitch has always been nosey and loves to check out everything especially the dishwasher (he is hoping that we dont rinse the dishes first) Just look at that tongue, I think ne may have broken the Ripleys Belive it or not record with that one! Leah took the pictures I always think about it but have never gotten around to doing it.
So here's our new diswasher in action.

Another "Whats that?"

Okay here's another one for you....can you identify this plant and is it edible?

Clue # 1- I have no idea what it is

Clue # 2 we are visiting our daughter Sarah and family in Indiana

Clue # 3 Adam is holding it in the first pic

Clue # 4 Charlie broke it in half (took quite a pounding)Clue # 5 its larger than a tennis ball

So come on what do you think it is and oh, by the way I have no idea so at this point in time you could tell me anything and I would have to take your word for it!!

Can you guess?

This little guy was hovering around my Ginger this AM at first I thought it was a hummingbird, but closer inspection proved me wrong! Can you guess what it is? Leave your answer in my comments. (I already figured it out)

The Domino Effect

This great and wonderful event took place about two weeks ago with Jordan and Rachel, they like to come over and play games...Dominoes being the game of choice, after a couple or rounds of chicken foot we moved on to bigger and better things! Lke how many dominoes can you balance on your nose?

July 8 at the OBX and Leah's Bday

This was our planned day in town...but first we took a walk on the beach, it was a perfect beach day

Then we drove into Nags Head for some putt-putt

Followed by dinner at Carolina Seafood and then back to the bch hse for ice cream cake

While you were sleeping

After a morning on the beach and lunch, naps seemed to be a good idea....which some of us took, and the girls decided to give them selves manicures and pedicures, needless to say we got a little bored and painted the boys toe nails, while they were sleeping! We could only get one of David's feet at a time, we had to wait for him to turn over to get the other foot!
