We finished the drive during our afternoon nap. Gamma & Pappaw live on 10 acres out in the country and it is so pretty. They have lots and lots of cats because on stray kitty keeps multiplying. We were all about the cats.
Gamma had fresh strawberries and we had so much fun picking them. We ate lots of "strawberbies" as Connor says. Here we are with Gamma picking and eat them. It is lots of work, you have to go out every day and pick and eat.
There was so much to see and do. We could look out the front window and watch for the horses, the cows came to graze next door each afternoon, we ran circles around the flowers or looked for snakes in the creek. It was a fun lazy time. Here we are looking at some of the flowers and the creek is just down at the bottom of the hill. This is right outside Gamma's back door.
On Wednesday we all piled in Gamma and Pappaw's mini van and drove over to Murphy, NC to see our dear friends Mark and Kate. They chucked it all here in Tampa and bought a cabin in the woods and opened a bakery. Here we are with Mark and Gamma in front of the bakery.
Our cousins came to visit us and they are twins too. Well really almost like triplets because their baby sister is not too much younger. Here we all are looking for lizards and cutting up for pictures with Pappaw.
The last night of vacation mom and dad watch the movie "Avatar" with Gamma and Pappaw. Ellie's first sentence was "I see you" and Gamma really wanted mommy to see that movie. Of course she was in tears. It was pretty neat. The week was so much fun. We drove home over two days just like the drive up and boy were we glad to be home.
