Like last year, we kicked things off with a family reunion of my Mom's family, the Yorks. It took place at my Mom's sister's house near Fayetteville. They live on, well, a farm really. There house is a big log house with a wraparound porch and they have goats and horses. It's really beautiful there.
Here's AbiLyn and I before we headed out. The boys (David, Eric, and Brian) skipped the reunion and hung out at Liz and Eric's while we three girls and the kids went to Fayetteville.
We were almost to Fayetteville when the curvy highway got to AbiLyn. Unfortunately, she got sick all over her pretty pink sundress, but it was all okay. We were all quite a sight in the parking lot of the Fayetteville Co-op while she put on her bathing suit, so when she got to Aunt Kathy's she was all ready to play in the pool while her dress got washed and dried.
Here's Granny June and me on the porch.
AbiLyn had a lot of fun playing with her cousins, Savanah and Rusty.
AbiLyn was beside herself to pet the goats.
Here are my two aunts with the baby goat!
Lex was quite the hit of the get-together. He got a little tired of being passed around, though, and wanted to hang out in his walker for a bit.
So, we got back from Fayetteville and David, AbiLyn, and I headed to the Normandy house. We took AbiLyn while Eric and Liz had a quiet weekend at home with Lex. Dad has decided that he wants to become a master pancake maker, so he bought a griddle and started perfecting his technique with mom's from-scratch pancake recipe (honestly, I've never seen the woman with a box of Bisquick in her hand!) He's getting pretty good. We had pancakes both mornings we were there!
AbiLyn got her very own fishing pole. Her cast is getting pretty good even though she hasn't caught anything yet. Uncle David was really sweet about helping her out.
It was all great fun!
