So far, this has been one busy month- and it is only the 11th!! We had Nate's wedding on the first, recovery on the few days following, then I stayed in Grapeland to see family while Page went to work in Oklahoma last week. On Friday, we started the first annual family reunioun for my Mon's side of the family. Then on Sunday we came home. 4 days of rest/getting laundry and packing re-done & we are off for California this Friday morning & will be gone until next Saturday. So, I think August is going to be a blur- good thing I have a camera to remind me what has happened. I will post about the Cali trip when we get home, but here are some shots since the wedding.
On Monday after the wedding, we were busy washing table cloths, washing votive candle-holders, reorganizing everyone's things, and getting everything ready to get back to its rightful owner. One of the tasks that was given to my grandmother, Ma, was to untie the little bags that held confetti and separate the parts. So, Evan naturally wanted to help. He stayed there and played with confetti almost the entire time, I was impressed. She held his attention well.
Here is a shot of Ma, PaPa, & Scotty relaxing and enjoying the evening in Mom & Dad's backyard. We were all watching Evan play in the water- shocking as that may be! :)
My Dad & Evan. He loves his little chair. He doesn't sit in it long at a time, but will go back to it 20 times while playing.
Evan took a break from playing in the water to help my mom, NaNa, water the plants. Again, such a helper!
Tuesday, we went to Lufkin (the closest city to my parents of any size) to get food for the reunion. We stopped by the mall & Evan loved the little play area. He would have stayed for a long time if we were not on a schedule.
On the way home from Lufkin, we decided to take the back roads, since there was a ton of construction on the bigger road that we took on the way there. Well, apparently we were not meant to go anywhere fast that day, because on this leg of the trip we were stopped by a down tree. Here are a couple of pictures of the tree. There were about 5 people working with a tractor to get it off the road & I have to say they did a great job- we were not there all that long before the road was passable. Just so you know- this was also the road I took to college, notice how tiny it is- some people don't believe how small I mean when I say I am from a small town. :)
