Sandbox, Chocolate-Covered Pretzels & A Hayride with Friends

This past weekend we all went down to the farm with a weekend full of family, friends and fun. Sherrod, Drake and Landry played in the sandbox all day on Saturday and also on Sunday when all of our guests arrived for a hayride put on by my parents. Some of the kids wore their Halloween costumes.




It took 2 baths to get all the sand off of him...not to mention he was using the shovel as a spoon and eating the sand! I never could get a picture of him doing it, but he was actually chewing on it. Yuck!

Sherrod's aunt Lauren ("La La") was making chocolate and white-chocolate covered pretzels for Landry's class on Monday. Drake and Landry were helping, so of course Sherrod had to put his 2 cents in.



Did I mention we had to have a bath after this too??? You would think we would actually do something that didn't involve dirt or a mess!

My parents invited a bunch of people out to the farm for the hayride on Sunday afternoon. My dad ("Poppa") drove the tractor pulling two trailors full of hay. After about a 30 minute ride it was time to eat! The kids played and ate hotdogs, chips and lots of sweets!







As you can tell by the pictures, Sherrod was only interested in riding on the tractor with Poppa. He was exhausted after all of the festivities. He slept the whole way home!
