Cabin Fever

Last week we did not have a lot going on, so me and the boys loaded up and headed to the cabin for a few days. They loved it. Parker especially. We rode the golf cart around looking for deer, coyote's (coy-do-tees as Parker calls them), and any other critter that might live at the cabin. We even saw a turtle that had come up from the creek to lay her eggs. Nothing says "nature" like watching a momma turtle dig her hole, lay the eggs, then cover them up, and waddle back down the hill to the creek. It was pretty amazing to watch.

Parker was/is obsessed with the deer at the cabin. And while we did not see any this time, he did get to (stop reading here MeMe)...ride on the back of the pickup to take the corn to the feeder, fill the feeder up, then ride on the tailgate to the hog trap, fill that up and then sit in the front seat with mommy and hampaw (who was drinking and driving) back up the cabin. The funny thing is when we got in the front seat to drive back up to the cabin Parker said, "mommy, I need my seat." Meaning, he needed to be in his car seat...smart boy :)

In 3 years from now I will be chasing those boys around the property trying to keep them out of trouble. They absolutely LOVE it out there and never wanted to be inside.

Driving the golf cart...
Quick story on the golf cart...While out driving on the fence line, I got out to pick a dewberry. Not as soon as I get both feet out of the golf cart, Parker hops off the seat and presses all the way down on the gas. Mom and Cooper are in the back, I am out of the cart, and Parker has his foot on the gas going full speed into a tree. Luckily I caught up to them just before they went smashing into the trees. I tried so hard not to laugh, but mom and I were crying from laughing. Lesson learned...well, maybe not...He did the same thing the next day to my dad, but luckily dad was able to push on the brake and lock the wheels up just inches away from them slamming into my car.
