There are GIRLS in my house!

My nieces, Addison and Pendley are here visiting us till Monday.  Jordan and Amber are in Wyoming visiting friends of theirs.  Dad brought the girls up here and then went to visit two of his sisters in Fayetteville.
We had a busy day!  The kids all played on the swingset and we went over to Scott's parents and picked green peppers, squash and plums.  Addison wanted to wash them for me so she did!


The over ripe or ones that we wouldn't be able to eat got thrown into the woods.  Scott had caught a pretty big turtle that morning while working and showed the kids the turtle.


He got it out of the wheelbarrel and it zoomed and I mean ZOOMED into the garage...peeing the whole way!  Scott got it out and put it where he found it and the kids kept watching.  Then back to the house for playing and lunch.  While I was getting ready to fix lunch, I glanced out the window and saw something at the end of the driveway...wasn't sure what it was but it started coming our way...I called Scott and had him come over because it went in the garage.  Scott found it and long story short killed it.
                      
We really are not positive as to what it was but we think (from facebook poll) that it may have been a badger.
After that I got lunch ready and fed the kids.  Then it was finally naptime!  Addison claimed the princess toddler bed so that meant Xander and Pendley (almost 3y/o and 2.5 y/o) were in Xander's bed.  It took awhile but they both fell asleep!

After nap there was more playing outside and then Scott decided to take the kids to the pond and go fishing.  Since he choose the pond over here we took all the kids in the truck and drove through the field and took the kids fishing.  Scott would cast out and then let the kids take turns reeling back in.  Pendley decided she didn't want to do it.  Xander and Addison had fun!  Scott got a nibble and Addison got to reel it in!


She was so excited!


Xander was trying to eat the fish from inside the truck.

Waiting to do some fishing

Xander's turn.

We didn't stay long since it was dinner time.  We came back and had fish for dinner (not what we caught...that one got thrown back) and baths then BED!  Day one was a success!
